OUR  ANCESTRY. 


EDENIC  lore  gives  us  no  clue 
To  our  ancestral  tree; 

The  drowsy  Sphinx  is  silent,  too, 
Regarding  pedigree. 

In  ancient  and  medieval  ages, 

With  motto — might  is  right. 

In  vain  we  search  historic  pages, 

And  get  but  little  light. 

We  rest  upon  our  English  tree: 

Stephen,  a  stalwart  oak — 

An  early  plant  of  history — 

Refused  the  Bishop’s  yoke. 

And  sailed  to  the  new-born  western  world. 
Transplanted  the  family  tree; 

The  ancestral  banner  here  unfurled. 

And  hence  our  pedigree.

AUTHOR’S  PREFACE. 


The  object  of  the  publication  of  this  book  is  to  preserve  in  a  per- 
^  manent  form  the  historical  and  genealogical  data  of  the  Batch- 
elder  (however  spelled)  family  in  America.  Quite  a  little 
information  has  been  published  at  various  times  in  the  histories 
of  New  England  towns,  but  no  attempt  at  a  complete  compilation  has 
been  previously  made.  There  were  a  number  of  emigrant  ancestors 
to  this  country  prior  to  1700 — a  few  were  related,  others  were  not. 
There  is  but  little  doubt  but  that  the  family  was  of  Norman  extrac¬ 
tion,  and  went  into  England  at  an  early  day,  where  the  name  has 
been  variously  spelled.  The  first  record  we  have  is  of  Gilbert  le 
Bachler,  who  paid  tillage  in  Normandy  in  1195;  from  that  time  until 
the  present  his  descendants  and  relations  have  spelled  the  name  in  no 
less', than  forty-four  different  ways,  and  on  this  account  it  has  been 
quite  difficult  to  trace  the  families  in  all  their  peregrinations. 

The  arrangement  of  the  matter  is  similar  to  that  of  my  former  pub¬ 
lications  (the  Whitney  and  Fiske  Genealogies).  Being  the  simplest, 
it  is  therefore  the  easiest  to  trace.  I  take  this  opportunity  to  thank 
all  those  who  have  so  kindly  assisted  me  in  the  compilation  of  this 
work.  My  thanks  are  particularly  due  to  Geo.  Clinton  Batcheller, 
of  New  York  City,  who  has  not  only  rendered  great  assistance  in  the 
publication  of  the  book,  but  furnished  the  search  of  the  Herald’s  Col¬ 
lege  in  London,  England,  and  various  coats  of  arms.  Thanks  are  also 
due  to  Mrs.  S.  A.  Pierce,  Grafton,  Mass.,  Hon.  Albert  S.  Batchellor, 
Littleton,  N.  H.,  F.  L.  Orra,  Chicago,  Ill., Victor  C.  Sanborn,  Chicago, 
Ill.,  Seymour  Morris,  Chicago,  Ill.,  and  others.  I  trust  the  various 
members  of  the  family  will  take  as  much  pleasure  in  perusing  the 
pages  as  I  did  in  compiling  them.

ORIGIN  OF  THE  BATCHELDER  NAME. 


The  word  bachelor  has  long  been  a  sore  puzzle  to  etymologists,  says  Lower  in 
his  work  on  English  surnames.*  That  the  name  “Bachelor,”  however  spelled,  is 
the  same  as  the  word  “bachelor,”  meaning  an  unmarried  man  or  a  college  graduate, 
is  unquestioned,  but  many  derivations  have  been  given  by  different  authors  to 
account  for  the  meaning  of  the  word,  some  most  fanciful  and  even  grotesque,  others 
with  more  probability  of  correctness.  Knights  bachelors  were  the  most  ancient, 
though  the  lowest  order  of  knighthood  in  England.  It  is  said,  in  a  note  to  Chitty’s 
Blackstone,  that  the  most  probable  derivation  of  “bachelor”  is  from  bas  and  chev¬ 
alier,  an  inferior  knight. f 

The  derivation  of  the  word  is  given  in  Webster’s  dictionary  as  from  the  old 
French  “bachiler,”  meaning  a  young  man.  A  common  derivation  given  is  from 
“bacalaureus,”  having  reference  to  the  chaplet  of  laurel  berries  with  which  the 
new  bachelor  of  arts  was  crowned.  The  earliest  mention  of  the  name  indicates  that 
it  was  given  originally  to  mark  the  condition  of  its  possessor  as  an  unmarried  man, 
or  as  a  young  man,  when  there  was  an  elder  person  of  the  same  Christian  name 
living  in  the  neighborhood.  The  English  registers  of  the  thirteenth  and  fourteenth 
centuries,  where  we  first  meet  the  name,  use  the  French  prefix  “le.  ”  Thus  we  find 
Jordanus  le  Bachelor,:]:  Gilbert  le  Bachler,§  that  is,  Jordan  the  Bachelor,  Gilbert  the 
Bachelor.  We  may  be  reasonably  sure  that  the  names  Jordan  and  Gilbert  were  then 
so  common  in  a  particular  neighborhood  in  Normandy||  that  it  was  necessary  to 
indicate  by  some  addition  to  the  Jordan  or  Gilbert  that  there  was  an  elder  or 
married  person  of  the  same  name  in  the  immediate  neighborhood.  If  “bachelor” 
meant  simply  an  unmarried  man,  it  was  not  proper  or  fitting  at  the  death  of 
Jordan  le  Bacheler  in  1297,  for  he  left  surviving  him  a  wife,  Alice,  and  a  son, 
John.  It  is.  therefore,  probable  that  the  word  “bachelor”  was  used  at  that  time 
much  like  “junior,”  meaning  simply  “the  younger,”  and  though  at  first  given  to  an 
unmarried  man,  was  not  dropped  upon  marriage,  as  it  was  a  convenient  and  not 
inappropriate  designation  of  the  younger,  whether  single  or  married.  At  a  later 
period  the  “le,”  being  superfluous,  was  dropped,  and  in  1433  we  find  John  Bachelor 
returned  in  the  commissioners’  list  of  the  gentry  of  Norfolk,  England,  though  Johny® 
Baschealer  died  at  Kelsale,  in  Suffolk,  February  i,  1552.17  We  do  not  know  where 
the  family  originated.  There  is  the  usual  family  tradition,  which  bears  on  its  face 
the  marks  of  improbability,  that  three  brothers  by  the  name  of  Bachiler  served 
under  William  the  Conqueror,  and  were  rewarded  after  the  battle  of  Hastings,  in 
1066,  by  a  grant  of  land  in  Wiltshire.  For  sign  manual  they  were  given  a  shield 
upon  which  were  three  boars’  heads,  united  by  three  links,  a  spear  above  them 
couchant.  There  was  no  crest,  indicating  that  they  were  private  soldiers. 

Before  1600,  we  find  the  family  name  in  the  counties  of  Kent,  Surrey,  Sussex, 
Wilts,  Hampshire,  Bucks,  Middlesex,  Norfolk  and  Suffolk,  all  in  the  southeastern 
part  of  England.  Very  few  are  found  north  of  London.  The  earliest  mention  of 
the  name  is  found  in  Surrey,  and  very  probably  Surrey  or  Sussex  was  the  earliest 
home  of  the  Bachilers. 

It  is  impossible  to  trace  the  relationship,  if  any  existed,  between  the  early 
Bachlier  families  in  England,  or  to  decide  whether  the  first  emigrants  of  that 
name  to  America  were  kindred.  The  Ipswich  and  Salem  emigrants  were  brothers. 
The  names  associated  in  some  of  the  early  English  families  indicate  that  Alexander 
Bachieler,  the  emigrant,  of  Portsmouth,  was  a  relative  of  the  Salem  and  Ipswich

BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY. 


Bachilers,  as  Mark  Bacheller,  of  Bradding,  in  the  Isle  of  Wight,  died  about  1614, 
leaving  a  brother,  Alexander  Bacheller,  two  sons,  John  Bacheller  the  elder  and 
John  Bacheller  the  younger,  and  three  daughters.*  Mark  was  a  family  name 
among  the  Salem  Bachilers,  but  neither  that  name,  nor  Alexander,  has  been  found 
elsewhere  in  the  English  families.  Such  evidence  is,  of  course,  slight,  but  is  worth 
noting  in  the  absence  of  convincing  facts.  It  is  probable  that  other  relationship 
existed  between  some  of  the  Bachiler  emigrants,  but  further  and  more  careful 
search  must  be  made  in  England  before  this  interesting  question  of  relationship  can 
be  settled. 

There  were  seven  immigrants  of  the  Bachiler  name: 

1.  Alexander,  of  Portsmouth,  N.  H. 

2.  Rev.  Stephen,  of  Lynn,  Mass.,  and  Hampton,  N.  H. 

3.  Henry,  of  Ipswich,  Mass. 

4.  Joseph,  of  Salem,  Mass,  (now  Wenham). 

5.  John,  of  Salem,  Mass. 

6.  William,  of  Charlestown,  Mass. 

7.  John,  of  Watertown,  and  Dedham,  and  Reading. 

There  are  living  descendants  of  the  Bachiler  name  from  four  of  these  immi¬ 
grants,  namely:  Rev.  Stephen,  Joseph  and  John,  of  Salem,  and  Henry,  of  Ipswich. 

This  name  appears  in  the  Massachusetts  and  New  Hampshire  records  under  the 
form  of  Bachaler,  Bachalor,  Bachelder,  Bachelor,  Bacheldor,  Bacheldore,  Bacheledr, 
Bacheller,  Bachellor,  Bachelor,  Bachilder,  Bachilo,  Bachillor,  Bachlicor,  Bachlor, 
Bacholter,  Bactherer,  Bashelor,  Batchalder,  Barchaldor,  Batchalor,  Batchelar, 
Batcheldor,  Batcheler,  Batcheller,  Batchellor,  Batchelor,  Batchelter,  Batcherder, 
Batchlar,  Batchilder,  Batchldor,  Batchlor,  Batcholder,  Batcholdor,  Battchelor, 
Bocldr,  Batchelder. 

BATCHELOR  [SEE  BACHELOR.] — Bachelor,  Bachellor,  Batchelor,  Batchellor, 
Batcheler,  Batchler,  Bachelere,  Bachelor,  Bachylere,  Bachelar,  from  French 
Bacheller. 

1.  A  young  gentleman  who  aspires  to  be  a  knight. 

2.  A  student  who  has  taken  his  first  degree  at  a  university. 

3.  An  unmarried  man,  a  lover. 

French — Bacheller,  Bachellier,  Bachelor,  Bachiler,  a  young  man  from 
Med.  Latin  Baccalarius,  said  to  be  from  late  Latin  bacca,  for  racca,  a 
cow  (baccalaureate). 

A.  — Ordinary  Language. 

A  person  of  the  male  sex,  of  marriageable  age,  who  has  not  in  fact  been 
married.  When  he  has  passed  the  time  of  life  at  which  the  majority  of  men 
enter  the  matrimonial  state,  he  is  called  an  “old  bachelor.” 

“Fair  maid,  send  forth  thine  eye;  this  youthful  parcel  of  noble  bachelors  stand  at  my 
bestowing.” — Shakespeare.  All’s  Well  That  Ends  Well,  ii -3. 

B.  — Technically. 

I.  University  degrees. 

1.  In  the  expression  bachelor  of  arts  (B.  A.);  one  who  has  taken  the  first 
degree  at  a  university.  The  B.  A.  degree  was  introduced  in  the  thirteenth 
century  by  Pope  Gregory  IX.  In  the  opinion  of  Jamieson,  in  this  sense  the 
term  bachelor  was  probably  borrowed  from  the  arrangement  in  the  Univer¬ 
sity  of  Paris,  where  two  of  the  four  orders  into  which  the  theological  faculty 
was  divided  were  called  Baccalarii  Farmed  and  Baccalarii  Cursores. 

“The  Bachelors  met  in  the  Chamber  above  the  school  of  Humanitie,”— Cranford,  Hist.Univ. 
Edin.  p.  29  (Jamieson). 

2.  The  same  as  master  of  arts  (O.  Scotch). 

At  any  of  our  Universities  the  students,  after  four  years  study,  take  the  degree  of  bachelor, 
or,  as  it  is  commonly  termed,  master  of  arts.” — Spottiswoods. 

II.  Heraldry. 

I.  Formerly,  (a)  A  person  who,  though  a  knight,  had  not  a  sufficient  number  of 
vassals  to  have  his  banner  carried  before  him  in  battle. 

(b)  One  who  was  not  old  enough  to  display  a  banner  of  his  own,  and  there¬ 
fore  had  to  follow  that  of  another, 

“A  knight  of  Rome  and  his  bachylere.” — Gower,  p.  42  (Sim.  Boucher).

III.  Among  the  London  city  companies. 

One  not  yet  admitted  to  livery. 

Bachelor’s  buttons,  a  name  given  by  gardeners  to  the  double-flowered  variety 
of  one  of  crowfoots  or  buttercups.  Sometimes  this  species  is  further 
designated  as  yellow  bachelor’s  buttons,  after  the  example  of  the  French, 
who  denominated  it  “bouttons  d’or,”  while  the  white  bachelor  buttons, 
“boutons  d’argent.”  is  bestowed  on  another  crowfoot.  Various  other 
plants,  especially  the  campion,  the  burdock,  the  scabious  or  bluebottle, 
have  also  been  called  bachelor’s  buttons  or  buttons. — The  Encyclopaedic 
Dictionary. 

Gen.  George  S.  Batcheller,  of  Washington,  writes:  It  is  a  tradition  that  our 
branch  of  the  Batchellers  came  from  Spain !  That  the  ancestor  was  a  secretary  or 
It.-governor  of  Florida,  then  Spanish  possession,  was  driven  out  by  Indians,  and  of 
the  embarking  his  colony  in  a  war  vessel.  He  and  a  few  associates  remained  on 
shore,  and  when  they  went  in  search  of  their  ship  it  had  “passed  out  of  sight’’  in 
the  fog,  and  they  drifted  in  a  small  boat  to  sea,  and  finally  landed  in  New  England. 
Batcheller,  or  Batchillero,  remained  in  America,  having  married  a  pretty  Puritan, 
and  his  comrades  returned  to  Spain.  His  descendants  grew  up  as  Protestants  and 
Puritans.  It  is  all  tradition. 

Another  work  on  the  origin  of  names  states  this  of  the  name  Bachelder;  The 
Dutch  “bock”  meant  “book.”  “Bareo”  is  “doctor”.  The  whole  means  doctor  of 
divinity,  law  or  medicine. 

The  following  paragraph  appeared  in  The  Family  Herald,  an  English  magazine, 
dated  August  lo,  1895,  page  239:  The  term  “bachelor”  is  from  the  Latin  “bacca- 
laureus,”  “one  crowned  with  laurel.”  In  the  French  it  becomes  “a  young  squire,  not 
made  a  knight.”  Its  first  English  meaning  was  “a  young  unmarried  man.  ”  In  old 
times,  the  student-undergraduate  was  forbidded  by  the  law  of  the  universities  to 
marry,  on  pain  of  expulsion.  Violations  of  this  law  by  William  Lee  resulted  in  his 
invention  of  the  stocking  loom. 

Prof.  John  Fiske,  of  Cambridge,  America’s  most  celebrated  historian,  in  writing 
to  the  author  of  this  work,  on  the  origin  of  names,  has  this  to  say :  The  largest  and 
most  familiar  groups  of  surnames  are  either  (i)  patronymics,  such  as  Johnson,  Jones, 
Wilson,  etc. ;  or  (2)  names  of  villages  and  estates,  such  as  Washington,  Frothingham 
(a  corruption  of  Fotheringham),  Greenough  (green  field).  Holmes  (meadow), 
Stanley  (stony  pasture),  etc.;  or  (3)  names  descriptive  of  occupation  or  social 
position,  such  as  Mason,  Carpenter,  Franklin  (country  squire).  Baker  and  its 
feminine,  Baxter,  Thatcher  and  Thaxter,  Weaver  and  Webster,  Draper,  Smith, 
Fletcher  (arrow-maker).  Chapman  (merchant).  Cooper,  Butler,  Cartwright,  Sargent, 
Waterman,  Sawyer,  Chandler,  Bishop,  Abbot,  Clark,  Constable,  Spencer  (steward), 
Grosvenor  (chief  huntsman).  Woodward  (forest-keeper),  Youmans  (yeoman),  etc. 

The  earliest  use  of  family  names  in  England  was  about  the  beginning  of  the 
eleventh  century.  Long  before  that  time,  indeed,  clan  names  were  common,  and 
such  were  always  patronymics,  e.  g. :  Fotherings,  the  descendants  of  Fother; 
Beormings,  the  descendants  of  Beorm ;  Icklings,  the  descendants  of  Ickel.  At  the 
time  of  the  Anglo-Saxon  conquest  of  Britain  (fifth  and  sixth  centuries),  it  was  custom¬ 
ary  for  a  clan  to  settle  in  a  stockaded  village  by  itself,  and  all  English  towns  whose 
names  end  in  “ham”  or  “ton,”  preceded  by  “ing,”  were  originally  the  abodes  of 
single  clans,  e.  g. :  Birmingham,  home  of  the  children  of  Beorm ;  Icklington,  town 
of  the  children  of  Ickel.  Besides  these  general  clan  names  no  others  were  in  use 
except  individual  names,  such  as  Alfred  or  Edith. 

The  use  of  family  names,  beginning  in  the  eleventh  century,  increased  slowly. 
It  was  not  until  the  fifteenth  century  that  such  names  became  nearly  universal,  and 
also  stationary.  At  first  they  were  shifting  in  usage.  Thus,  the  same  man  might 
be  called  Henry  Wilson,  because  his  father  was  named  William ;  or  Henry  Frothing¬ 
ham,  because  he  lived  at  the  village  of  Fotheringham;  or  Henry  Draper,  because  of 
his  occupation.  If  the  son  of  this  Henry  were  named  Robert,  and  were  any  kind 
of  a  worker  in  metals,  from  an  armorer  to  a  blacksmith,  he  might  be  known  as

Robert  Harrison,  or  Robert  Smith.  Surnames  had  not  ceased  to  fluctuate  in  this 
way  until  the  fifteenth  century,  and  it  was  not  until  late  in  the  sixteenth  that  more 
importance  began  to  be  attached  to  the  family  surname  than  to  the  individual  bap¬ 
tismal  name.  It  appears,  therefore,  that  in  tracing  back  genealogy  into  the 
fourteenth  century  we  are  approaching  the  time  at  which  difficulty  must  arise  from 
fluctuations  of  surnames.  Thus  the  paternal  grandfather  of  Stephen  Bachiler  might 
have  been  called  David'  Johnson,  if  John  were  his  father’s  name,  or  David 
Franklin,  if  he  were  a  country  squire.  In  the  thirteenth  century,  we  should  be 
quite  likely  to  encounter  such  confusion,  and  to  find  the  helpfulness  of  surnames  in 
tracing  genealogies  vastly  diminished. 

Surnames  derived  from  estates  or  localities  seem  to  have  been  the  first  to 
become  stationar3^  and  next  after  them  the  surnames  derived  from  trade  or  office, 
since  sons  have  so  commonly  followed  their  fathers  in  business. 

We  are  at  first  struck  with  the  fact  that  barbarians  commonly  use  names  both 
for  individuals  and  for  clans.  Such  individual  names  as  Gray  Wolf,  or  Yellow 
Raccoon,  often  owe  their  origin  to  some  personal  peculiarity  or  to  some  irrecover¬ 
able  incident.  Among  American  Indians,  and  in  general  among  barbarians  all  over 
th^  world,  the  clans  are  apt  to  have  such  names  as  Wolf,  Eagle,  Salmon,  Turtle, 
etc;  the  totem,  or  sjmibol,  of  the  Wolf  clan,  the  idol  or  image  of  its  tutelar  diety,  is 
likelj'  to  be  a  rude  image  of  a  wolf  or  wolf’s  head,  and  in  many  cases  the  clan  is 
supposed  to  have  had  a  wolf  for  its  first  ancestor.  Shall  we  say,  then,  that  animal 
surnames  in  modern  English  are  survivals  of  ancient  heathen  clan-names? 

The  conversion  of  our  English  forefathers  from  heathenism  to  Christianity  was 
completed  in  the  seventh  century,  at  least  four  hundred  years  before  the  earliest  use 
of  surnames  in  England.  The  old  clan  system,  moreover,  had  crumbled  to  pieces 
long  before  Norman  conquest.  It  is  not  likely,  therefore,  that  habits  of  naming 
characteristic  of  the  old  heathen  clans  could  have  persisted  long  enough  to  give 
rise  to  a  whole  class  of  surnames  so  late  as  the  eleventh  and  twelfth  centuries. 

Between  the  ancient  systems  of  totem  devices  and  the  heraldry  of  the  Middle 
Ages,  there  were  many  analogies,  and  doubtless  some  points  of  connection;  though, 
on  the  whole,  the  former  must  be  regarded  as  the  predecessor  of  the  latter,  not  as 
its  ancestor.  The  mediaeval  heraldry  was  growing  up  in  England  during  the 
eleventh  and  twelfth  centuries,  and  it  made  an  extensive  use  of  conventionalized 
heads  of  familiar  animals,  not  merely  lions,  wolves  and  bulls,  but  many  kinds  of 
birds  and  fishes,  as  well  as  such  imaginary  creatures  as  dragons,  griffins  and 
cockatrices.  For  example,  Lucy  is  the  heraldic  name  for  pike,  and  the  shield  of 
the  De  Lucy  family  bears  on  a  field  gules  three  lucies  or.  From  this  emblem  the 
family  surname  is  likely  to  have  arisen,  just  as  Geoffrey  Plantagenet  was  so  called 
from  the  sprig  of  broom  or  genesta  plant  worn  in  his  helmet.  The  familiar  name  of 
Pike,  as  well  as  that  'of  the  Puritan  magistrate.  Sir  Thomas  Lucy,  who  arrested 
Shakespeare  for  poaching,  has  probably  come  from  the  heraldic  use  of  pikes  or 
lucies. 

The  explanation  which  serves  for  one  of  this  class  of  animal  surnames  might 
perhaps  serve  for  all,  but  there  is  another  point  to  be  considered.  Heraldic  devices 
were  used  not  only  upon  banners  and  coats-of-arms,  but  also  upon  signboards,  not 
merely  of  inns  but  of  other  places  of  business.  In  days  when  reading  and  writing 
were  not  common  accomplishments,  such  devices  were  in  general  use,  and  they 
survived  down  to  a  recent  time.  For  tavern  signs  they  are  not  yet  extinct.  In  old 
times,  as  often  at  the  present  day  in  Europe,  the  shop  and  the  homestead  were 
usually  contained  in  the  same  building.  Thus,  in  the  seventeenth  century,  the 
father  of  John  Milton,  who  was  a  solicitor,  notary  public,  and  law  stationer,  had  his 
office  and  his  home  in  a  certain  house  known  as  the  Spread  Eagle,  in  Bread  street, 
Cheapside.  Over  the  front  door  was  the  figure  of  an  eagle  with  outstretched  wings. 
For  four  or  five  centuries  before  Milton’s  time,  in  going  through  any  town,  you 
would  have  passed  by  a  succession  of  such  signs  of  hawks,  cranes,  dolphins,  salmon, 
lambs,  and  bulls,  thus  finding  your  way  to  the  particular  shop  and  homestead  of 
which  you  were  in  quest.  The  principle  upon  which  the  signs  were  chosen  is  not 
always  obvious.  Sometimes  a  family  name  may  have  suggested  the  sign,  as  if 
a  man  named  Crow  were  to  paint  a  black  crow  over  his  door;  but  in  early  times  the 
sign  undoubtedly  preceded  and  suggested  the  name.  The  family  which  dwelt  at 
the  sign  of  the  crow  came  to  be  called  Crow,  in  the  same  way  that  a  family  which 
dwelt  at  a  country  house  called  Greenough  or  Greenhalge  (green  field)  came  to  be 
called  by  the  name  of  the  house.

A  VISIT  TO  HISTORIC  CANTERBURY.  ENGLAND. 

(By  Jennie  Bard  Dugdale,  of  the  Interior.) 

Among  the  caprices  of  custom  none  is  more  inexplicable  and  unfortunate  than 
that  which  draws  present-day  pilgrims  from  over  seas  other  whither  than  to  beau¬ 
tiful,  historic  Canterbury.  However  Britons  may  regard  it,  few  Americans  think 
of  seeking  this  interesting  and  attractive  spot  when  journeying  in  England.  A 
tour  of  the  Cathedral  towns  usually  omits  this  most  important  of  them  all.  Trav- 


ST.  martin’s  church. 


elers  take  train  at  London  for  Dover,  with  Paris,  the  glittering,  for  their  goal,  and 
are  whirled  through  old  Kent,  almost  under  the  shadow  of  the  Cathedral’s  triple 
spires  without  a  thought  of  the  storied  past  or  the  glowing  present  over  which  those 
soaring  structures  stand  guard. 

Although  Kent  is  not  noted  for  the  wild  and  romantic  scenery  of  some  of  the 
other  counties,  there  is  a  smiling  fairness  in  her  fertile  valleys  and  soft-swelling 
hills  which  is  not  without  charm.  Few  mediaev'al  towns  are  quainter  or  more 
jiicturesque  that  the  ancient  borough  whose  red  roofs  cluster  about  the  great 
Cathedral,  and  that  vast  and  venerable  pile  has  among  her  younger  sisters  few  peers 
in  beauty  or  in  architectural  interest,  while  in  the  wealth  of  historic  association  and 
influence  she  stands  unrivalled. 

Canterbury  is  not  only  the  “Cradle  of  English  Christianity,’’  but  in  a  sense  an 
epitome  of  English  history.  Although  “Kent  itself  be  but  a  corner  of  England, 
and  Canterbury  seated  in  a  corner  of  that  corner,”  for  nineteen  centuries  there  has 
been  a  more  or  less  close  connection  between  the  little  city  on  the  Stour  and  the 
most  significant  events  and  institutions  of  the  whole  land  and  race.

Memorials  are  here  of  British,  Roman,  Saxon  and  Norman  occupation;  Danish 
inroads  are  traceable  today;  the  highwater  marks  of  Papal  and  of  Protestant 
supremacy  can  be  clearly  seen;  here  is  the  earliest  evidence  of  English  learning. 
Canterbury  bears  a  share  in  the  beginning  of  English  liberty,  Archbishop  Stephen 
Langton  ha\nng,  perhaps,  more  to  do  than  any  other  with  the  winning  of  Magna 
Charta ;  his  successors,  Cranmer  and  Laud,  are  associated  not  merely  with  things 
ecclesiastical,  but  with  wide-reaching  interests  of  the  English  name ;  during  eleven 
hundred  years  few  kings  failed  of  some  intercourse  with  Canterbury  ;  and  Chaucer, 
the  Father  of  English  Poetry,  found  here  the  inspiration  of  his  song,  and  sent  his 
Canterbury  pilgrims  journeying  through  the  centuries. 

Wonderful  is  the  way  in  which  this  long  record  is  brought  before  us  in  the 
buildings  and  the  natural  features  of  old  Canterbury ;  very  real  is  the  story  wrought 
in  stone,  very  vivid  the  sensation  of  continuity  aroused  in  us  as  we  tread  in  the 
footsteps  of  conquerors  and  churchmen,  of  kings  and  poets  and  scholars,  and  behold 
the  same  sights  their  eyes  perceived  and  handle  the  objects  on  which  their  touch 
rested  in  the  years  long  passed. 

There  was  a  British  village  at  this  place  before  the  coming  of  the  Romans ;  they 
in  turn  fortified  it  and  made  it  one  of  the  chief  military  stations  on  the  highroad  to- 
London.  When  the  Saxons  invaded  England  they  changed  its  name  from  Durovernum 
to  Cantwarabyrig,  the  burgh  of  the  men  of  Kent,  and  it  was  the  capital  of  Kent  in  the 
days  of  the  Heptarchy.  Ethelbert  kept  his  court  here  in  597,  when  Augustine  and 
his  monks  made  their  famous  landing  on  the  Isle  of  Thanet,  missionaries  sent  by 
Pope  Gregory  to  convert  the  fair-haired  Angli  to  Angeli  by  the  preaching  of 
Christianity. 

At  first,  the  pagan  king,  filled  with  a  vague  fear  lest  the  strangers  should  cast 
some  spell  upon  him,  forbade  them  to  leave  the  island,  and  there  under  a  spreading 
oak  the  first  interview  took  place,  but  so  reasonable  seemed  to  him  the  new  doctrine 
that  he  invited  its  teachers  to  enter  the  city.  As  the  procession  of  monks  and  chor¬ 
isters  and  interpreters,  followed  by  the  king  and  his  warriors,  reached  the  brow  of 
the  hill  “on  the  east  of  the  city,”  they  saw,  perhaps  to  their  surprise,  a  little  church 
where  the  Christian  queen,  Bertha,  a  descendant  of  Clovis,  was  permitted  to  worship 
in  her  own  way  with  her  confessor,  Luidhard,  who  had  accompanied  her  from 
France.  This  church,  dedicated  to  St.  Martin,  was  upon  the  site  of  one  built  by 
British  Christians  before  the  overthrow  of  their  religion  by  the  heathen  Saxons,  and 
many  Roman  bricks  visible  in  the  walls  today  doubtless  formed  part  of  that  early 
edifice.  Here  Augustine  was  allowed  to  preach,  and  King  Ethelbert,  deeply  moved 
by  his  teachings,  sought  baptism  on  Whit  Sunday,  June  2,  597,  and,  according  to 
the  custom  of  the  time,  by  which  a  whole  nation  adopted  the  religion  of  its  chief,  ten 
thousand  men  of  Kent  were  baptized  upon  the  following  Christmas  day.  We  are 
told  that  the  rite  was  performed  in  the  broad  waters  of  the  Swale,  at  the  mouth  of 
the  Medway,  but  the  king’s  baptism  took  place  within  St.  Martin’s  church,  and 
tradition  says  the  stone  font  still  preserved  there  was  used  for  the  purpose. 
Curious,  indeed,  in  this  ancient  relic,  three  feet  in  height,  cut  out  of  a  creamy  stone 
resembling  that  of  the  Cathedral,  and  covered  with  carving  of  intricate  and  unusual 
design.  Some  authorities  assert  that  it  cannot  be  as  old  as  Ethelbert’s  time,  but 
early  records  say  that  an  “urn,”  or  “baptistery,”  of  some  sort  was  used.  This  font 
itself  is  mentioned  in  the  seventh  century,  and  one  strikingly  like  it  is  seen  in  the 
representation  of  the  baptism  on  the  seal  of  St.  Augustine’s  Abbey,  showing  that 
its  association  with  the  event  was  long  unquestioned.  A  stone  coffin  at  St.  Martin’s 
is  claimed  to  be  that  of  Queen  Bertha.  The  north  wall  of  the  church  is  pierced  by 
a  narrow  window  called  “the  leper’s  squint,”  placed  at  such  a  slant  that  those 
afflicted  persons  standing  without  the  church  could  look  in  and  behold  the  altar  and 
thus  have  part  in  the  worship.  A  hospital  for  lepers  was  established  by  Archbishop- 
Lanfranc  in  1084  at  Harbledown,  one  mile  west  of  Canterbury,  and  the  “squint”  was 
probably  provided  about  that  time. 

Augustine’s  congregations  soon  outgrew  the  tiny  church  of  St.  Martin,  and  a 
second,  which  he  dedicated  to  St.  Pancras,  was  given  him  nearer  the  city.  A 
ruined  arch  now  marks  its  site. 

In  a  short  time,  however,  the  increasing  digpiity  and  importance  of  the  new 
religion  were  such  that  Augustine  was  formally  enthroned  Archbishop  of  Canter¬ 
bury,  and  a  church  and  dwelling  place  within  the  city  bestowed  upon  him ;  the  king 
devoting  to  this  purpose  his  own  palace,  and  retiring  to  Reculver,  a  few  miles  away, 
where  he  built  a  new  abode  for  himself.  Nothing  remains  of  the  first  cathedral,  and 
yet,  despite  the  ravages  of  time  and  foe  and  fire,  the  spot  has  never  been  without 
a  successor  to  that  first  rude  house  of  worship.

During  Augustine’s  life,  another  religious  institution  was  begun  just  outside  the 
city  wall,  the  Abbey  of  St.  Peter  and  St.  Paul,  but  four  hundred  years  later,  in 
St.  Dunstan’s  time,  it  was  enlarged  and  named  anew — in  honor  of  its  founder — St. 
Augustine’s  Abbey.  His  purpose  in  this  edifice  was  twofold;  he  designed  it  for  a 
burial  place  in  accordance  with  the  early  custom  of  sepulture  without  the  walls,  and 
for  a  seat  of  learning  as  well.  Two  MS.  Gospels  kept,  the  one  at  Oxford,  the 
other  at  Cambridge,  are  thought  to  be  the  ones  sent  to  the  rising  monastery  by  Pope 
Gregory  in  token  of  approval. 

Dean  Stanley  says  of  them:  “They  are,  if  so,  the  most  ancient  books  that  ever 
were  read  in  England;  as  the  church  of  St.  Martin  is  the  mother-church,  and  the 


CHRIST  CHURCH  GATT. 


Cathedral  of  Canterbury  the  mother-cathedral  of  England,  so  these  books  are,  if  I  may 
so  call  them,  the  mother-books  of  England,  the  first  beginning  of  English  literature, 
of  English  learning,  of  English  education.  And  St.  Augustine’s  Abbey  was  thus 
the  mother-school,  the  mother-university  of  England,  the  seat  of  letters  and  study, 
at  a  time  when  Cambridge  was  a  desolate  fen,  and  Oxford  a  tangled  forest  in  a  wide 
waste  of  waters.  ’’ 

Many  and  varied  have  been  the  occurrences  witnessed  by  the  old  Abbey  of  St. 
Augustine.  As  the  church  of  the  patron  saint,  it  held  for  long  a  position  of  greater 
importance  than  the  Cathedral  itself;  the  burial  within  it  of  the  first  primate  of  the 
English  church  and  the  first  king  of  Christian  England  fixed  it  as  the  resting  place 
of  the  holy  and  illustrious ;  and  when  we  consider  the  value  placed  upon  relics  from 
the  fifth  century  until  the  fifteenth,  we  can  understand  the  influence  of  this. 

Cuthbert,  the  ninth  Archbishop  of  Canterbury,  resolved  to  break  through  prece¬ 
dent  and  give  the  Cathedral  the  benefit  of  his  bones,  but  only  by  well  planned

diplomacy  was  this  accomplished.  Secretly  he  prepared  a  document,  to  which  the 
King  of  Kent  and  the  Pope  gave  their  sanction,  authorizing  his  interment  within 
the  Cathedral  precincts;  on  his  deathbed  he  gathered  his  monks  around  him,  gave 
them  the  warrant,  and  commanded  them  not  to  toll  the  Cathedral  bell  until  three  days 
after  his  death  and  burial ;  in  this  he  was  obeyed,  and  when  the  familiar  knell  brought 
the  Abbot  and  monks  of  St.  Augustine’s  to  claim  their  prey  they  found  themselves 
too  late  for  aught  but  vain  remonstrance. 

The  Abbey  suffered,  with  all  Canterbury,  from  the  incursions  of  the  Danes,  and 
in  11(38  the  greater  part  of  it  was  burned  and  many  ancient  charters  destroyed.  It 
was  the  chosen  abode  of  people  of  rank  when  visiting  Canterbury,  and  the  gifts  of 
successive  kings  and  nobles  enriched  it  and  rendered  it  so  attractive  that  at  the  dis¬ 
solution  of  the  monasteries,  Henry  VIII.  appropriated  it  as  a  royal  palace.  Queen 
Mary,  in  turn,  bestowed  it  upon  Cardinal  Pole,  and  Elizabeth,  in  1573,  occupied  it 
in  the  course  of  a  progress.  In  the  Abbey,  Charles  I.  and  Henrietta  Maria  were 
married  in  1625,  and  at  the  Restoration  Charles  H.  lodged  there  on  his  way  from 
Dover  to  London. 

In  later  times  much  of  the  old  place  fell  into  ruin,  some  of  the  stones  were  used 
in  repairing  the  Cathedral,  and  portions  were  taken  down  to  make  room  for  a 
hospital  and  jail;  a  brewery  was  carried  on  in  part  of  the  building,  and  its  days  of 
glory  seemed  indeed  ended;  but  in  1844,  when  the  remains  of  the  Abbey  were  sold 
at  auction,  the  purchaser,  Mr.  Beresford  Hope,  resolved  to  restore  the  historic  struc¬ 
ture  as  far  as  might  be,  and  establish  there  a  missionary  college.  The  new 
buildings  needed  were  made  to  conform  to  the  character  of  the  original  ones,  and 
for  the  past  half  century  this  training  school  has  sent  forth  Church  of  England 
missionaries  to  many  lands,  worthy  followers  of  the  earlier  ones  who  went  hence  to 
evangelize  pagan  England  and  pagan  Germany,  the  “regions  beyond”  of  that  day. 

There  is  much  in  Canterbury  to  detain  the  curious;  the  claim  is  made  that  no 
other  English  city  can  show  a  like  number  of  ancient,  unaltered  churches;  the  hoary 
walls,  intact  until  a  hundred  years  ago,  are  still  standing  in  places,  but  of  the  six 
gates  only  one,  the  West  gate,  is  preserved,  unless  we  include  Christ  Church  gate, 
leading  from  Mercery  Lane  to  the  precincts  of  the  Cathedral.  Close  by  the  pictur¬ 
esque  West  gate,  built  in  the  time  of  Chaucer,  stands  the  old  Falstaff  Inn,  and  not 
far  beyond  is  St.  Dunstan’s  church,  where  the  nead  of  Sir  Thomas  More  was  buried 
by  his  faithful  daughter  Margaret;  she,  too,  lies  in  the  Roper  tomb  in  this  church, 
and  through  the  gateway  of  the  Roper  mansion  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  street 
the  great  chanacellor  must  many  a  time  have  passed,  for,  if  not  a  resident  of  Canter¬ 
bury,  he  was  often  a  guest  in  the  home  of  his  dearly  loved  daughter. 

Canterbury  Castle,  built  soon  after  the  Norman  Conquest,  would  attract  us  were 
it  not  for  the  stronger  spell  which  the  Cathedral  places  upon  us.  Thither  the  mediaeval 
pilgrims  repaired  with  promptness  to  make  their  devotions  at  the  shrine  of  the 
“holy,  blissful  martyr,”  Thomas  Becket,  and  we  would  fain  follow  in  their  footsteps, 
so  resisting  the  tempting  shops  in  Mercery  Lane,  which  now,  as  of  old,  offer  for  sale 
mementoes  of  the  pilgrimage,  past  the  building  marking  the  site  of  the  famous 
Chequers  Inn  we  go,  under  beautiful  Christ  Church  gate — built  in  1517,  carved  on 
every  part  with  armorial  bearings,  angels,  miters,  coronets  and  roses,  the  emblems 
of  the  Tudors — and  stand  at  last  within  the  precincts,  and  the  great  Cathedral  rises 
before  us  in  all  its  sublime  loveliness. 

One  versed  in  such  matters,  says:  “It  embraces  all  styles  of  English  ecclesiasti¬ 
cal  architecture  from  the  rudest  Saxon  to  the  most  finished  of  Gothic  art,  ’  ’  yet  the 
general  effect  is  thoroughly  harmonious  and  indescribably  beautiful  and  impressive. 

The  nave,  the  part  nearest  us  as  we  approach  from  the  southwest,  is  compara¬ 
tively  modern,  built  about  the  year  1400,  but  in  its  severe  simplicity  and  vastness 
it  seems  more  venerable  than  the  choir  and  transepts,  with  their  greater  ornateness 
and  complication  of  design.  East  of  the  nave  the  transepts  open  on  either  side, 
that  to  the  north  being  the  famous  transept  of  the  Martyrdom,  where  Thomas 
Becket  was  slain  December  29,  1170,  and  not  before  the  altar  as  is  often  carelessly 
stated.  A  flight  of  steps  leads  to  the  choir,  and  farther  east  other  series  of  steps 
take  one  higher  and  yet  higher  until  the  holiest  place,  the  shrine  of  St.  Thomas,  is 
reached.  This  succession  of  ascents  is  a  peculiarity  which  has  struck  many  travel¬ 
ers,  from  the  time  of  Erasmus  until  now,  but  the  unusual  elevation  was  made 
necessary  by  the  position  of  the  crypt  and  the  wish  to  place  the  shrine  immediately 
above  the  spot  where  the  martyr  first  lay,  when,  in  haste  and  secrecy,  amid  the 
roaring  of  the  storm,  the  trembling  monks  interred  him  a  few  hours  after  his 
murderers  quitted  the  Cathedral,  fearing  their  threatened  return  to  seize  the  body,

feeling,  divided  at  first,  set  strongly  in  his  favor;  the  proud,  grasping  ecclesiastic, 
the  wily  politician,  was  forgotten,  and  Thomas  Becket  was  remembered  only  as  the 
fearless,  faithful  servant  of  the  church.  He  was  canonized  by  the  Pope,  and 
December  29  set  apart  as  the  Feast  of  St.  Thomas  of  Canterbury. 

The  following  year  Henry  H.  —moved  by  contrition  or  by  policy — performed 
his  penance  at  the  grave  in  the  crypt  of  the  Cathedral,  and  to  this  sacred  spot  the 
ever-swelling  tide  of  pilgrimage  continued  to  flow.  Louis  VIL,  the  first  French

king  to  set  foot  on  English  soil,  visited  the  shrine  in  1179  spent  a  night  in 
prayer  and  fasting  before  it ;  the  Lion-hearted  Richard,  returning  from  Palestine, 
landed  at  Sandwich,  and  went  thence  on  foot  to  Canterbury  to  give  thanks  to  God 
and  St.  Thomas  for  deliverance  from  his  grievous  captivity;  one  of  the  early  events 
of  John’s  reign  was  a  journey  hither  accomplished  in  great  state.  The  superstruc¬ 
ture  of  the  Cathedral  bade  fair  to  yield  all  its  importance  to  the  tomb  in  the  crypt 
when  the  destructive  fire,  which  laid  waste  the  entire  choir  toward  the  close  of  the 
century  led  to  the  rebuilding  of  that  part  of  the  Cathedral,  and  special  attention  was 
given  to  preparing  a  position  of  prominence  for  the  resting  place  of  the  martyr’s 
remains.  By  the  year  1220  all  was  in  readiness,  and  the  “translation”  occurred 
amid  imposing  ceremonies. 

For  the  following  three  centuries  Canterbury  was  foremost  among  the  great 
shrines  of  Christendom;  pilgrims  came  from  all  England  and  from  distant  parts  of 
Europe,  and  the  fame  of  St.  Thomas  was  carried  to  far-away  lands.  From  Syria  to 
Scotland  churches  rose  in  his  honor,  his  name  was  inscribed  upon  the  banners  of 
the  Crusaders,  and  the  capture  of  Acre  was  supposed  to  be  so  directly  due  to  his  aid 
that  he  was  thenceforward  frequently  called  St.  Thomas  of  Acre,  while  in  the  North

the  Abbev  of  Aberbrothock — known  to  lovers  of  Scott's  Antiquary  as  “the  Abbey 
of  St.  Ruth"— was  sacred  to  him,  and  at  Melrose  he  received  special  veneration. 

Indeed,  the  e.Ktreme  to  which  this  niartyrolatry  was  carried  and  the  absurdity  of 
the  miracles  ascribed  to  it  prepared  the  way  in  no  small  measure  for  the  reaction 
which  culminated  in  the  Reformation.  The  assertion  of  Thomas  A  Kempis,  “there 
are  few  whom  pilgrimage  really  sanctifies,’’  received  repeated  confirmation  from  the 
revelations  of  Chaucer  and  Piers  Plowman  and  many  an  old  chronicler ;  and  such 
an  observer  as  Erasmus  was  more  disgusted  than  edified  by  a  visit  to  Becket’s 
tomb.  The  beauty  of  the  Cathedral  touched  him  much,  he  marked  “the  majesty 
with  which  the  church  rises  into  the  sky,  so  as  to  strike  awe  even  at  a  distant 
approach;  the  vast  towers,  saluting  from  afar  the  advancing  traveler;  the  sound  of 
the  bells,  sounding  far  and  wide  through  the  surrounding  country’’  but,  as  he 
beheld  the  effects  of  blind  and  debasing  superstition  upon  the  multitude,  and  saw 
the  trickery  of  the  relic  system,  he  was  moved  to  contempt. 

Outwardly,  the  worship  of  the  Saint  seemed  unabated,  the  number  of  pilgi'ims 
showed  no  diminution,  and  the  value  of  their  offerings  was  almost  incalculable;  but 
silently  and  unseen  the  spirit  of  change  was  working,  and,  in  a  few  short  years,  the 
crash  came. 

Henry  \TII.,  in  1520,  received  the  Emperor  Charles  V.  at  Canterbury  just

before  the  meeting  of  the  Field  of  the  Cloth  of  Gold,  and  together  they  knelt  at  the 
shrine.  Cardinal  Wolsey  near  at  hand,  and  the  most  illustrious  nobles  of  England 
and  Spain  crowding  the  Cathedral ;  but  all  this  was  soon  to  be  changed.  In  pursu¬ 
ance  of  a  royal  mandate.  Archbishop  Cranmer  ignored  the  great  Festival  of  the 
Translation  of  the  Relics,  July  6,  1537,  and  in  the  following  year  a  summons  in  the 
King’s  name,  addressed  to  “Thomas  Becket,  some  time  Archbishop  of  Canterbury,’’ 
charging  him  with  “treason,  contumacy  and  rebellion,’’  was  read  beside  his  tomb. 
Thirty  days  were  allowed  for  his  appearance,  and  when,  at  the  end  of  that  time.

the  beatified  offender  failed  to  answer  for  himself,  the  case  was  gravely  argued  at 
Westminster  by  attorneys  granted  by  the  King’s  grace  to  him  and  to  Henry  II. 
Strange  to  relate,  sentence  was  pronounced  against  him,  his  bones  condemned  to 
be  burned,  and  the  wealth  of  the  shrine  forfeited  to  the  Crown!  Such  a  trial, 
absurd  as  it  seems,  was  thoroughly  characteristic  of  Henry  VHI.,  who  could  be 
the  most  exacting  of  legal  quibblers  when  such  a  course  suited  his  purpose  and  pro¬ 
perly  instructed  judges  were  secured. 

Strikingly  suggestive  is  the  likeness  between  this  scene  and  that  other  enacted 
at  Lutterworth  a  hundred  years  before,  when  the  exuraed  bones  of  Wycliffe  were 
burned  and  his  ashes  scattered  upon  the  waters  of  the  Avon,  to  be  borne  thence  to 
the  Severn  and  to  the  encircling  sea.  Today  no  trace  of  Becket’s  shrine  can  be 
seen,  save  the  hollowed  stones  worn  by  the  knees  of  the  thousands  of  worshipers 
who  sought  the  favor  of  the  Saint. 

The  concentration  of  interest  at  this  tomb  may  have  led  early  pilgrims  to  pass 
unnoticed  other  parts  of  the  Cathedral,  but  we  of  this  day  can  view  the  whole  with 
eyes  open  to  its  many  beauties  and  hearts  alive  to  the  inspiring  influences  of  more 
than  one  monument. 

Edward,  the  Black  Prince,  lies  buried  at  the  south  side  of  Trinity  chapel,  and, 
as  we  look  from  his  life-like  effigy  to  the  velvet  coat  embroidered  with  the  Arms  of 
France  and  England,  the  gauntlets,  the  helmet,  the  shield  of  the  hero,  suspended 
high  over  head,  stirring  thoughts  of  the  days  of  Crecy  and  Poitiers  are  aroused 
within  us.  There,  too,  hangs  the  empty  scabbard,  but  the  sword  wielded  on  his 
famous  fields  was  carried  away,  it  is  said,  by  Oliver  Cromwell. 

The  Prince’s  connection  with  Canterbury  began  in  1357,  when,  shortly  after  the 
battle  of  Poitiers,  he  conducted  his  prisoner.  King  John  of  France,  to  London. 
Landing  at  Sandwich,  he  and  his  rcyal  captive  came  directly  to  Canterbury  and 
made  offerings  at  the  Shrine  of  St.  Thomas,  and  tradition  says  that  a  room  over 
St.  Anselm’s  chapel,  in  the  southeastern  part  of  the  Cathedral,  was  used  as  the 
French  king’s  prison.  Six  years  later,  in  commemoration  of  his  marriage,  the 
Prince  endowed  a  chapel  in  the  crypt,  where  two  priests  were  to  pray  always  for 
the  repose  of  his  soul.  When  his  life  drew  toward  its  close,  his  thoughts  turned 
longingly  to  Canterbury;  he  chose  the  great  Cathedral  for  his  last  resting  place, 
and  thither  moved  his  imposing  funeral  train  from  the  Palace  of  Westminster, 
where  he  died — past  the  village  of  Charing  Cross,  along  the  Strand,  through 
Temple  Bar  and  Fleet  street,  around  St.  Paul’s  Cathedral,  over  London  Bridge,  by 
the  Tabard  Inn  in  Southwark,  and  so  in  the  path  of  Chaucer’s  pilgrims  through  the 
Kentish  country  until  Canterbury  was  reached.  With  great  ceremony  the  bodj^  was 
borne  into  the  Cathedral  and  deposited,  not  in  the  humble  spot  in  the  cr\'pt  desig¬ 
nated  in  the  Prince’s  will,  but  in  the  most  honored  place,  beyond  the  altar,  near  the 
shrine  of  St.  Thomas. 

Trinity  chapel  was  without  other  graves  for  thirty- seven  years,  until,  in  1413, 
Henry  IV.  was  butied  there,  the  only  English  king  who  rests  in  Canterbury 
Cathedral. 

The  eastern  extreme  of  the  Cathedral  is  formed  by  the  circular  chapel  called 
the  Corona,  or  Becket’s  Crown,  ancffn  it  stood  formerly  an  altar  containing  a  frag¬ 
ment  of  his  skull ;  the  tomb  of  Cardinal  Pole,  the  last  Roman  Catholic  archbishop, 
is  in  this  chapel,  and  near  at  hand  is  the  chair  of  St.  Augustine,  in  which  each 
Archbishop  is  seated  at  his  enthronement.  This  chair,  though  said  to  be  no  older 
than  the  thirteenth  century,  probably  resembles  closely  the  original  cathedral  of 
which  it  is  the  official  successor. 

One  of  the  oldest  parts  of  the  Cathedral  is  the  crypt  or  undercroft;  it  dates 
from  the  early  Norman  period  at  the  latest,  being  part  of  the  building  of  Lanfranc, 
the  Archbishop  appointed  by  William  the  Conqueror.  It  is  surmised  that  some  of 
the  pillars  may  have  belonged  to  the  earlier  British  church  on  this  site,  thus  preced¬ 
ing  all  other  parts  of  the  present  one  by  a  thousand  years.  Somewhat  surprised  are 
we  as  we  turn  aside,  amid  these  cold,  stony  expanses,  and  enter  one  portion  of  the 
crypt,  carpeted,  furnished  with  straight-back  wooden  chairs  and  a  small  pulpit  of 
Presbyterian  plainness.  Here  as.semble  the  French  congregation,  descendants'  of 
the  Huguenot  refugees,  to  whom  Queen  Elizabeth,  in  1561,  gave  permission  to  set 
up  their  looms  in  the  crypt  and  to  observe  their  own  form  of  worship. 

In  striking  contrast,  and  yet  in  significant  harmony,  with  the  elaborate  and 
ritualistic  celebrations  for  which  Canterbury  Cathedral  stands,  is  the  presence  of 
this  simple  Calvinistic  service,  which  has  survived  three  centuries  of  stormy  intoler¬ 
ance  and  bigotry  to  be  in  these  last  days  an  earnest  of  a  glorious  unity  yet  to 
come,  a  precious  proof  here  in  the  cradle  of  English  Christianity,  the  stronghold  of

SEARCH  AT  THE  HERALD’S  COLLEGE. 

Heraldry,  a  relic  of  the  feudal  ages,  took  its  rise  in  the  Crusades,  and  was  em¬ 
ployed  to  denote  the  manly  virtues.  Since  then  armorial  bearings  have  served  very 
much  the  same  purpose  of  the  modem  diploma,  and  have  been  cherished  because 
deemed  the  patent  of  respectability.  Esteemed  at  first  by  the  landed  gentry  at 
pleasure,  they  afterwards  came  under  the  regulation  of  law.  The  Herald’s  College 
was  established,  and  a  general  registration  took  place  in  the  sixteenth  century.

when  pedigrees  were  accepted  and  registered,  and  the  disorder  or  irregularity  of 
fraudulent  bought  rectified. 

The  college  buildings  of  the  Royal  College  of  Arms,  or  more  commonly,  "The 
Herald’s  College,”  are  of  begrimed  red  brick,  occupy  three  quarters  of  a  small 
square  opening  to  Queen  Victoria  street,  E.  C.,  in  London,  through  a  large  iron  gate, 
richly  surmounted  with  heraldic  devices.  The  central  door  of  the  college  admits  to 
a  spacious  hall,  heavily  paneled  in  oak,  and  hung  with  banners,  coats-of-arms,  and 
portraits  of  past  officers  of  the  college.  In  the  center  of  the  hall  is  a  plain,  wide 


and  long  oak  counter,  inclined  at  either  extremity  toward  the  north  wall,  where, 
under  the  plain  oak  paneling,  runs  a  plain  oaken  bench,  the  center  being  marked  by 
two  carved  arm-rests,  apparently  indicative  of  the  seat  of  some  authority.  On  the 
right  is  an  apartment  marked  "Office.”  This  is  dimly  lighted.  The  floor  is  bare 
and  the  only  furniture  is  a  writing  table  and  one  or  two  chairs.  The  noonday  sun

carved  fireplace  to  various  shades  of  brown  and  gold,  and  played  o’er  the  various 
shields  studding  the  carved  frieze  like  the  memory  of  some  forgotten  pageant.  The 
officer  in  attendance,  Thomas  IMorgan  Joseph  Watkin,  Pursuivant  Portculiis,  ex¬ 
plained  the  constitution  of  the  college.  "The  college  consists  of  thirteen  officers, 
besides  the  hereditarj’  Earl  Marshal,  the  Duke  of  Norfolk;  three  kings-at-arms, 
six  heralds  and  four  pursuivants,  or  novitiates. 

“Garter  king-at-arms  was  created  by  Henry  V.,  in  1417,  for  the  service  of  the 
Order  of  the  Garter,  of  which  he  is  secretary.  An  essential  qualification  for  the  post 
is  that  he  shall  be  an  Englishman  and  a  gentleman  of  position.  He  is  chief  king-at- 
arms.  The  next  is  Clarencieux,  who  was  created  by  Edward  IV. ,  and  the  other  is 
Norroy.  Garter’s  distinctive  color  is  blue,  and  that  of  Clarencieux  and  Norroy 
purple".  Next  come  the  six  heralds,  Somerset,  Chester,  Windsor,  Richmond,  Lan¬ 
caster,  and  York — and  last  of  all  the  four  pursuivants.  Rouge  Croix,  Bluemantle, 
Rouge  Dragon,  and  Portcullis. 

In  the  great  fire  the  Herald’s  College  was  destroyed,  but  it  was  afterward 
rebuilt  bj”^  the  heralds  themselves  from  designs  said  to  be  by  Sir  Christopher  Wren, 
and  on  a  site  given  by  Queen  Mary.  It  is  the  herald’s  freehold  property.  All  the 
records  except  two  were  saved  from  the  fire,  having  been  removed  to  Whitehall. 
These,  with  the  collegians,  constitute  the  finest  heraldic  and  genealogical  remains 
in  the  world.  In  an  outer  room  was  pointed  out  shelves  upon  shelves  of  indexed 
volumes  containing  records  of  grants  of  arms,  and  of  pedigrees  of  England’s 
armigerl,  for  the  past  400  years.  The  car\nngs  in  the  public  office  are  supposed  to 
have  been  executed  by  Grinling  Gibbons.  That  is  a  picture  of  Ralph  Sheldon,  the 
antiquary;  that  is  Stephen  Martin  Leake,  one  time  Garter  King-at-Arms ;  that  is 
Sir  John  Dugdale ;  and  that  is  Lord  Arundel,  who  gave  us  the  Arundel  manuscripts. 
In  that  glass  case  is  the  famous  ring,  sword  and  dagger  of  James  IV.,  of  Scotland, 
referred  to  by  Scott  in  “Marmion,”  as  you  can  see  by  the  accompanying  verse: 

“The  fair  Queen  of  France 
Sent  him  a  turquoise  ring  and  glove. 

And  charged  him,  as  her  knight  and  love. 

For  her  to  break  a  lance.’’ 

George  C.  Batcheller,  of  New  York  City,  recently  had  an  examination  or  search 
made  at  the  Herald’s  College,  which  is  here  given:  The  reader  will  notice  that 
there  are  certain  abbreviations  which  seem  rather  unnecessary,  but  appear  to  be  in 
accordance  with  the  way  they  do  things  at  the  College;  for  example,  dau.  for 
daughter,  and  one  or  two  others,  which,no  doubt  will  be  plain  enough,  and  you  will 
find  the  letters  aginst  the  coats-of-arms  indicating  the  heraldic  words  instead  of  the 
words  themselves.  Then  you  will  find  two  short  parallel  lines  like  these,  =  which 
mean  married. 

The  records  to  which  the  search  refers,  45  in  all,  as  one  will  see,  show  no  pedi¬ 
gree,  but  only  disconnected  statements  of  fact.

REV.  STEPHEN  BACHILER,  PURITAN  EMIGRANT. 

(Judge  Charles  E.  Batchelder,  Portsmouth,  N.  H.  In  New  England  Historical  and 

Genealogical  Register. ) 

It  is  not  proposed,  in  this  part  of  the  book,  to  give  a  sketch  of  the  lives  of  any 
of  the  first  Batchelder  settlers,  except  that  of  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler,  and  in  his 
case  about  all  that  can  be  done  is  to  rearrange  the  old  material,  add  some  new  facts 
recently  discovered,  and  correct  the  numerous  and  gross  errors  in  regard  to  his 
immediate  descendants.  The  treatment  accorded  to  those  early  citizens  of  Massa¬ 
chusetts  Bay,  who  fell  under  “suspicion”  at  the  hands  of  their  more  orthodox 
brethren,  has  been  so  long  frankly  acknowledged  and  the  causes  so  thoroughly 
explained,  that  it  can  no  longer  be  considered  derogatory  to  the  Massachusetts 
commonwealth  to  speak  plainly  concerning  the  treatment  of  Williams,  Wheelright 
and  other  disturbers  of  the  Puritan  state.  To  do  otherwise  would  be  affectation. 
There  was  intolerance  on  the  part  of  the  Bay  Colony,  and  also  on  the  side  of  the 
“suspected.”  The  latter  should  have  withdrawn  voluntarily  from  the  settlement 
previously  occupied  by  the  church-state  party,  and  the  former  had  not  then  learned 
that  the  sure  way  to  perpetuate  heterodoxy  is  to  persecute  and  punish  its  adherents. 
Naturally,  the  Massachusetts  historians  have  chronicled  the  virtues  of  the 
clergymen  who  upheld  the  Massachusetts  plan,  and  the  opponents  of  that  plan, 
being  neglected,  were  speedily  forgotten.  It  is  said  of  Samuel  Skelton,  of  Salem, 
Mass. :  “Little  has  come  down  to  us  concerning  him,  owing,  it  is  said,  to  the  fact 
that  he  differed  about  clerical  associations  and  other  subjects  from  most  of  the 
principal  persons  in  Massachusetts.”* 

We  know  that  Stephen  Bachiler  contended,  with  a  vigor  and  earnestness 
unusual  for  a  man  of  his  years,  against  the  Puritan  doctrine  of  a  religious  common¬ 
wealth,  against  that  union  of  church  and  state  to  which  they  clung  as  to  the  ark  of 
their  safety,!  and  which  has  since  been  universally  conceded  to  be  a  lamentable 
error.  He  lived  to  see  the  beginning  of  the  downfall  of  that  “experiment  fraught 
with  evil,”  as  the  halfway  covenant,  allowing  baptized  persons,  not  church  mem¬ 
bers,  upon  assenting  to  the  church  covenant,  to  have  all  the  rights  of  members, 
except  communion,  was  approved  by  the  Synod  called  in  Massachusetts  in  1657.! 
We  know  further  that  he  most  zealously  maintained  the  rights  of  the  New  Iftimpshire 
settlements  in  their  contest  with  Massachusetts,  which  ended  in  1641  in  the  control 
of  the  weaker  province  by  the  stronger.  Whatever  material  advantages  were 
secured  by  New  Hampshire  through  this  union  of  the  colonies,  and  they  were  by  no.

means  inconsiderable,  were  valued  little  by  those  ardent  friends  of  New  Hampshire, 
who  resisted  the  aggression  ot  the  Bay  Colony. 

The  gTeat  wrong  done  New  Hampshire  by  the  attempt  to  pervert  the  Massachu¬ 
setts  charter  so  as  to  include  all  territory  south  of  an  east  and  west  line  through  the 
head  of  the  iMerrimac,  could  never  be  condoned  by  any  advantages  arising  from 
the  union.  Stephen  Bachiler  staked  his  fortunes  on’ the  'continued  independence  of 
the  New  Hampshire  settlements,  and  lost.  If  the  cause  he  championed  had 
prevailed,  he  would  today  be  remembered  with  gratitude  as  one  of  the  stoutest 
champions  of  New  Hampshire,  and  his  life  would  undoubtedly  have  been  materially 
different.  He  had  settled  Hampton  under  the  authorization  of  Massachusetts,  j-et 
his  subsequent  acts  show  that  he  never  supposed  either  of  the  Massachusetts  claims 
to  Hampton  well  founded. 

He  knew  it  was  not  within  their  patent,  nor  vacant  land  first  occupied  by  Massa¬ 
chusetts.^  Why.  then,  did  he  procure  a  grant  from  the  General  Court  of  Massa¬ 
chusetts,  and  act  under  their  directions?  It  was  because  he  had  alreadv  felt  their 
displeasure,  and  thought  the  grant  might  be  in  some  way  a  protection' to  himself 
and  his  company  in  making  the  settlement.  But  it  is  not  worth  while  to  dicuss 
these  matters  at  length,  as  they  excited  great  bitterness  once,  though  now,  happily, 
long  settled  and  entire  good  feeling  prevails  between  the  two  states. 

Stephen  Bachiler,  tor  so  he  alwa^-s  wrote  his  name,  was  born  somewhere  in 
England  in  the  year  1561.  At  the  age  of  twenty  he  entered  St.  Johns  College, 
Oxford.  He  was  matriculated  November  17,  isS'i,  and  admitted  as  Bachelor  of 
Arts,  Februarjr  3,  15S5-6.  The  leading  profession  for  college  graduates  in  that  day 
was  that  of  a  clergyman,  and  he  detremined  to  study  for  the  ministiy,  being  then  a 
member  of  the  established  church.  Apparently  the  time  between  his  graduation, 
in  Februaiy,  15S5-6  and  July  17.  15S7,  was  spent  in  preparation  for  his  life  work, 
for  on  the  day  last  named  the  death  of  Edward  Parrett,  vicar  of  Wherwell  in  Hants, 
making  a  vacancy  in  that  living  he  was  presented  with  the  place  bv  William  West, 
Lord  Lawarr  (or  de  la  WaiT,  as  it  was  written  later)  and  became  vicar  of  the 
church  of  Holy  Cross  and  St.  Peter.!;  On  the  26th  of  Januarv,  15S7-S  the  new 
incumbent  compounded  for  the  pat'ment  of  the  first  fruits  of  the  vicarage.  The 
N-illage  of  Where  well  stretches  along  the  westerly  bank  of  that  troutful  stream,  the 
Test,  in  Hampshire,  three  and  one-half  miles  from  Andover.  Very  great  historical 
interest  attaches  to  this  retired  town  and  its  ancient  monastery.  Wherewell  Abby 
has  been  the  home  or  the  abiding  place  of  three,  and  perhaps  tour,  English  queens, 
who  were  renowned  for  their  extraordinary  beauttr  The  parish  of  Wherewell 
hardly  had  any  existence  apart  from  the  Abby,  down  to  the  year  1 543,  for.  until 
that  time,  the  Superior  of  the  Monasters'  was  lady  of  the  manor,  and  owned  the 
whole  milage  and  a  large  part  of  the  neighborhood.  The  same  church  served  for 
the  parish  and  the  monastery,  with  presumably  a  chapel  for  parochial  services,  as 
at  Romsey.  It  had  also  a  chapel  with  a  special  entrance,  which  was  appropriated 
to  the  ‘Priory’’  as  a  pew.  The  earliest  mention  of  Wherewell,  or  Whorewell,  as  it 
was  then  called,  is  found  in  the  will  of  King  Edred,  A.  D.  946,  955.  He  gave  the 
town  to  the  new  monastery,  subsequently  called  H3-de  Abbev'.  In  the  \-ear  9S6, 
Elfrida  founded  Wherewell  Abbey  for  Benedictine  nuns  in  penitence  for  the  blood¬ 
shed  in  which  she  had  been  concerned.  In  the  chartulars’  of  Wherewell  Abbey  the 
story  is  thus  told:  “And  in  the  place  which  bt'  the  inhabitants  is  called  Wherewell 
founded  the  Church  of  the  Hoh'  Cross,  beseeching  Christ,  that  He,  who,  wounded 
on  the  :  ever  I  memorable  Cross,  shed  his  blood  for  the  redemption  of  the  human 
race,  might  deign  to  grant  her  the  pardon 'purchased)  b^' his  death,  His  wounds, 
and  b}'  the  shedding  of  his  blood,  rich  (in  gracesi.’’*'  Wherewell  contains  five 
hundred  and  fort3--one  inhabitants,  and  must  have  been  a  ver3-  retired  spot  until  the 
London  and  Southwestern  Railroad  ran  a  branch  line  through  the  town,  about  the 
3'ear  1SS3,  and  built  a  ver3-  substantial  and  commodious  station  at  Fullerton  in 
the  parish  of  Wherewell.  Man3-  of  the  residences,  and  especialh'  the  old  court  house 
near  the  station,  are  of  earl3-  date,  and  look  as  if  the3'  had  not  changed  appreciabh- 
in  three  centuries.  The  old  Parish  church  of  Hoh'  Cross  and  St.  Peter  was  pulled 
down  and  rebuilt  in  1S53.  The  old  building  was  repaired  after  the  Reformation 
with  the  best  portions  of  the  Abbe3*  ruins.  With  the  exception  of  some  fragments 
of  mouldings,  one  monumental  effig3-,  and  parts  of  two  monuments,  there  are 
absoluteh'  no  traces  of  the  old  church.*  Of  Stephen  Bachiler's  life  at  Wherewell

we  know  nothing.  The  church  records  were  begun  in  1643,  or  at  all  events  no 
earlier  records  now  exist.  We  only  know  that  he  remained  here  until  1605,  for,  on 
the  ninth  day  of  August,  1605,  John  Bate,  A.  M.,  clergyman,  was  appointed  vicar 
of  Wherewell,  a  vacancy  existing  because  of  “the  ejection  of  Stephen  Bachiler,”  the 
last  vicar.  +  Not  much  more  is  known  of  his  life  in  England,  from  the  loss  of  his 
living  at  Wherewell  to  the  spring  of  1632,  when  he  sailed  for  New  England.  He 
was  excommunicated  from  the  church,  and  so  no  church  record  exists  showing  his 
abiding  places.  Probably  he  preached  to  different  congregations,  not  in  a  settled 
way,  but  when  he  could  avoid  the  persecution  of  the  church  people.  Occasionally 
we  get  a  glimpse  of  his  location.  In  1610  he  appears  to  be  still  a  clergy-man  of  the 
County  of  Southampton.  ^  On  the  nth  of  June,  1621,  Adam  Winthrop’s  diary  shows 
that  he  “had  Mr.  Bachelour,  the  preacher,”  to  dine  with  him,  presumably  at  Groton 
in  Suffolk.  This  may  have  been  the  subject  of  this  sketch.  Some  of  the  parish¬ 
ioners  of  Barton  Stacey,  in  Hampshire,  a  few  miles  east  of  Wherewell,  listened  to 
his  sermons  at  some  time  before  1632,  for  we  find  that  Sir  Robert  Paine  petitioned 
the  Council,  stating  that  he  was  sheriff  of  Hants  in  that  year,  and  was  also  chosen 
churchwarden  of  Barton  Stacey,  and  that  “  some' of  the  parishioners,  petitioner’s 
tenants,  having  been  formerly  misled  by  Stephen  Bachelor,  a  notorious  incon¬ 
formist,  had  demolished  a  consecrated  chapel  at  Newton  Stacey,  neglected  the 
repair  of  their  parish  church,  maliciously  opposed  petitioner’s  intent  (to  repair  the 
church  at  his  ovv-n  charge),  and  executed  many  things  in  contempt  of  the  cannons 
and  the  bishop.  ”§  Once  more  we  hear  from  him,  on  the  23d  of  June,  1631,  when,  at 
the  age  of  seventy  years,  he  obtains  leave  to  visit  his  sons  and  daughters  in  Flush¬ 
ing.  He  was  then  resident  at  South  Stoneham,  in  the  county  of  Southampton,  and 
desires  that  his  wife,  Helen,  aged  48  years,  and  his  daughter,  Ann  Sandburn,  of 
age  30  years,  widow,  resident  in  the  Strand,  might  accompany  him.  He  was  to 
return  within  two  months.  ||  It  would  be  interesting  to  know  which  of  his  sons  and 
daughters  then  lived  at  Flushing,  as  Deborah  Wing  was  apparently  residing  in 
London  in  November,  1629,  when  her  husband,  John  Wing,  made  his  will,  and 
presumably  she  was  appointed  executrix  of  the  will  when  it  was  proved,  Augpist  4, 
1630,  as  Mr.  Waters  makes  no  note  that  administration  was  granted  to  any  other 
person  than  the  executrix  named  in  the  will.^  Stephen  Bachiler  was  excommuni¬ 
cated  among  the  earliest  of  the  nonconformists.  On  the  death  of  Elizabeth,  in 
1603,  James  I,  of  the  house  of  Stuart,  came  to  the  throne.  In  January,  1604,  the 
famous  Hampton  Court  conference  was  held,  when  King  James  uttered  his  angry 
threat  against  the  Puritans,  “I  will  make  them  conform  or  I  will  harry  them  out 
of  the  kingdom.  ”  The  next  year  the  king’s  threat  was  carried  out  against  Mr. 
Bachiler,  and  no  doubt  he  was  thoroughly  “harried"  after  his  excommunication. 
Winthrop  says  that  Bachiler  had  suffered  much  at  the  hands  of  the  bishops.* 

As  early  as  1630  Bachiler  had  determined  to  leave  England  and  settle  in  Amer¬ 
ica.  At  all  events,  he  made  preparation  for  such  removal.  Maverick,  in  his 
“Description  of  New  England,”  says  there  was  a  patent  granted  to  Christo:  Batch¬ 
elor  and  Company!  in  the  year  1632,  or  thereabouts, j;  for  the  mouth  of  the  river 
(Sagadahoekei.  and  some  tract  of  land  adjacent,  who  came  over  in  the  ship  named 
the  Plough,  and  termed  themselves  the  Plough  Companie,  but  soon  scattered,  some 
for  Virginia,  some  for  England,  some  to  the  Massachusetts,  never  settling  on  that 
land.?; 

The  Plough  ship,  of  sixty  tons,  on  the  6th  day  of  July,  1631,  arrived  at  Natascott 
(Nantasket).  She  brought  ten  passengers  from  London.  They  came  with  a  patent 
to  Sagadahoek ;  but  not  liking  the  place  they  came  hither.  ^lost  of  them  proved 
familists,  and  vanished  away.|

Bachiler  was  a  familist.  Fortunately,  other  manifest  errors  in  the  same  article  indicate  its 
untrustworthiness.  It  is  evident  that  the  members  of  the  Plough  Company,  who  came  over  in 
1632.  were  not  familists.  The  fact  is  that  many  of  the  earlier  settlers  of  N'ew  England  were  of

It  has  been  said  that  this  grant  was  afterwards  called  the  province  of  Lygonia.. 
after  Cicely  Lygon,  the  mother  of  Sir  Ferdinando  Gof'ges ;  but  Maverick  says  there 
was  a  patent  granted  for  this  (Casco)  Bay  some  years  since,  by  the  title  of  the 
Province  of  Ligonia,  to  Collonel  Alexander  Rigby,  which  is  no  doubt  true.  It  is 
earnestly  to  be  hoped  that  this  Plough  pateot,  or  a  copy,  will  some  time  be  discov¬ 
ered.  At  present,  it  is  impossible  to  define  the  extent  of  the  grant,  or  to  prove 
beyond  question  what  territory  was  occupied, under  it.  Hubbard  says  it  was  south 
of  the  Sagadahock  river,  and  twenty  miles  from  the  seaside,  yet  all  agree  that  the 
original  grant  was  forty  miles  square.  Two  contemporary  writers  say  it  was  a 
patent  for  Sagadahock.^ 

Two  islands  in  the  River  Sagadahock,  near  the  south  side  thereof,  about  sixty 
miles  from  the  sea,  are  included  in  the  grant,  but  no  such  islands  exist.  Great 
ignorance  of  our  geography  was  shown  in  making  the  early  grants,  and  they  fre¬ 
quently  overlap  earlier  grants.  Sagadahock  was  a  very  elastic  word  in  early  days. 
It  was  applied  to  the  river  formed  by  the  union  of  the  Kennebec  and  Androscoggin, 
also  to  the  region  about  that  river,  probably  on  both  sides,  like  the  present  county 
of  Sagadahock,  and  in  later  times  to  all  the  land  east  of  the  Sagadahock  River  to  the 
St.  Croix.* 

It  seems  most  probable  that  the  Plough  grant  began  at  the  mouth  of  the  Saga¬ 
dahock,  ran  inland  on  that  river  and  the  Androscoggin  forty  miles  in  a  straight 
line,  but  sixty  measured  on  the  river,  and  forty  miles  south  and  a  like  distance  back 
from  the  ocean.  This  was  found  to  overlap  earlier  grants,  which  had  been  so 
frequently  made  of  Sagadahock.  f 

When  the  territory  was  actually  settled  it  was  found  that  the  bounds  could  only 
extend  from  the  west  side  of  Cape  Porpoise  to  the  east  side  of  Cape  Elizabeth, 
distance  less  than  twenty  miles,  as  Casco  and  most  of  the  territory  east  of  the 
Sagadahock  had  been  previously  occupied  under  other  grants. 

At  the  very  beginning  of  1632,  Mr.  Bachiler  left  England  for  Boston  in  New 
England.  He  sailed  on  the  9th  of  March,  1631-2,  in  the  vessel  called  the  “William 
and  Francis,”  from  London,  with  sixty  passengers,  and,  after  eighty-eight  dreary 
days,  landed  at  Boston.  Among  his  fellow  travellers  were  Gov.  Edward  Winslow,  of 
Plymouth,  Rev.  Thomas  James,  Rev.  Thomas  Wedde  and  Thomas  Oliver,  the 
famous  ruling  elder  of  Boston.  On  the  “Whale,”  which  arrived  May  26,  1632  came 
Mr.  Wilson  and  Mr.  Richard  Dummer.  Most  of  the  Uummers  reside  at  South 
Stoneham  or  Swathling,  where  the  ancient  church  bears  several  Dummer  memori¬ 
als,  and  this  was  the  last  residence  of  Stephen  Bachiler  in  England. 

A  relationship  existed  between  the  Bachilers  and  the  Dummers  which  cannot

over  by  unscrupulous  adventurers,  and  innumerable  convicts  were  set  free  on  condition  of 
emigrating  to  New  England.  The  latter  colonists,  especially  those  coming  in  the  great  move¬ 
ment  between  1B30  and  lti40,  were  much  .superior  to  the  earlier  emigrants.  Winthrop  would  have 
known  and  mentioned  the  fact  if  Bachiler  had  been  tainted  with  familism.  In  matters  of  opin¬ 
ion,  that  is,  of  belief,  Dalton  and  Bachiler  agreed,  says  Winthrop.  Who  ever  heard  that  Dalton 
entertained  familistic  opinions.  The  charge  is  ridiculous  and  utterly  unsupported.

These  two  ships,  the  “William  and  Francis,’’  and  the  “Whale,”  were  sent  out 
by  the  “Company  of  husbandmen,”  sometimes  called  the  “Company  of  London,” 
or  the  “Company  of  the  Plough,”  of  which  company  Stephen  Bachiler  was  an 
active  and  zealous  member,  and  was  chosen  their  pastor  in  1629  or  1630. 

The  energy  and  zeal  with  which  he  labored  to  increase  the  society  and  assist  as 
many  emigrants  as  possible  to  come  to  New  England,  is  well  set  forth  in  a  letter  of 
John  Dye  and  others  to  Mr.  Crispe,  and  those  members  of  the  Plough  Company 
then  in  New  England,  dated  London,  8  March,  1631-2,  and  evidently  brought  in  the 
“William  and  Francis,”  or  the  “Whale.”||  Mr.  Bachiler  adventured  /'loo  in  the 
Company  and  loaned  them  of  which  amount  was  repaid  by  the  freight 

money  on  his  goods. 

Among  the  articles  he  brought  over  were  four  hogsheds  of  peas,  twelve  yards  of 
cloth,  two  hundred  yards  of  list,  a  contribution  box  and  oaken  furniture,  which  has 
lasted  until  this  day.  Most  of  the  early  settlers  of  New  England  were  young,  or 
not  past  their  prime,  when  they  came  to  America.  Mr.  Bachiler  was  seventy-one 
when  he  landed,  and  yet  for  a  score  of  years  thereafter  he  retained  his  vigor  and 
for  a  decade  he  most  obstinately  contended  against  Massachusetts  Bay  in  behalf  of 
New  Hampshire.  He  had  planned  in  England  to  settle  at  Newton  (now  Cam¬ 
bridge).  but,  owing  to  the  disaster  which  befell  the  Plough  Company  in  1631,  and 
having  received  a  call  from  Lynn,  Mass.,  then  called  Sagus,  he  proceeded  to  the 
place  last  named,  where  his  daughter,  Theodate,  wife  of  Christopher  Hussey, 
resided.  He  commenced  the  exercise  of  his  public  ministrations  on  Sunday,  June 
8.  1632,  without  installation,  having  formed  a  church  of  those  who  desired  to  join 
the  six  or  seven  persons  he  brought  with  him,  who  are  said  to  have  been  members 
of  the  church  with  him  in  England.  The  first  meeting-house  in  Lynn  was  a  small, 
plain  building,  without  bell  or  steeple,  and  stood  on  the  northwestern  corner  of 
Shepard  and  Summer  streets.  It  was  placed  in  a  small  hollow,  that  it  might  be 
better  sheltered  from  the  winds,  and  was  partly  sunk  in  the  earth.  It  was  entered 
by  descending  several  steps. ■;  On  the  first  Sunday  at  Lynn,  four  children  were 
baptised.  Thomas  Newhall,  the  first  white  child  born  in  Lynn,  was  first  presented. 
Mr.  Bachiler  put  him  aside,  saying,  “I  will  baptise  my  own  child  first,”  meaning 
Stephen  Hussey,  his  daughter’s  child,  born  the  same  week  as  Thomas  Newhall. 
Before  Mr.  Bachiler  had  been  preaching  four  months  at  Lynn,  he  fell  under  “sus¬ 
picion”  of  having  independent  ideas,  which  he  was  not  ready  to  yield  at  the 
dictation  of  others.  Thereupon,  the  General  Court  pas.sed  the  following  order : 
“October  3,  1632,  Mr.  Batchiler  is  required  to  fobear  exercising  hisGuifts  as  a  pastor 
or  teacher  publiquely  in  or  patient,  unless  it  be  to  those  hee  brought  with  him,  for 
his  contempt  of  authority  &  till  some  scandles  be  removed.”*  The  word  “scan¬ 
dals”  was  ordinarily  used  in  our  early  history  to  denote  some  religious  irregularity. 
It  was  “scandalous”  to  conduct  worship  in  any  way  not  approved  by  the  rulers.  It 
had  acquired  that  meaning  in  England  before  the  emigration  i 

It  does  not  appear  how  far  this  order  was  obeyed.  It  will  be  noticed  that  Mr. 
Bachiler  was  left  free  to  preach  to  those  he  brought  over,  and  no  doubt  he  contin¬ 
ued  his  ministrations. 

At  all  events,  after  five  months  this  prohibition  was  removed,  and  he  was  left 
free  to  gather  a  church  in  Massachusetts  Bay.  He  was  also  present  at  conferences 
of  the  ministers  of  the  colony,  September  17,  1633,  and  December  19,  1634.  the  first 
meeting  having  been  called  to  consider  the  settlement  of  Mr.  Cotton,  and  the  other 
to  consult  what  ought  to  be  done  if  a  general  governor  should  be  sent  out  of 
England,  and  whether  it  be  lawful  to  carry  the  cross  in  their  banners,  j: 

On  the  15th  of  March,  1635,  “two  of  the  elders  of  every  church  met  at  Saugus, 
and  spent  there  three  days.  The  occasion  was.  that  divers  of  the  brethern  of  that 
church,  not  liking  the  proceedings  of  the  pastor,  and  withal  making  a  question, 
whether  they  were  a  church  or  not,  did  separate  from  church  communion.  The 
pastor  and  other  brethern  desired  the  advice  and  help  of  the  rest  of  the  churches, 
who,  not  thinking  fit  to  judge  the  cause  without  hearing  the  other  side,  offered  to 
meet  at  Saugus  about  it.  Upon  this  the  pastor,  etc.,  required  the  separate  members 
to  deliver  their  grievances  in  writing,  which  they  refusing  to  do,  the  pastor,  etc.,

wrote  to  all  the  churches  that,  for  this  cause  they  were  purposed  to  proceed  against 
them  as  persons  excommunicated ;  and  therefore  desired  them  to  stay  their  journey, 
etc.  This  letter,  being  read  at  a  lecture  at  Barton  (where  some  of  the  elders  of 
every  church  were  present)  they  all  agreed  (with  consent  of  their  churches)  to  go 
presently  to  Saugus,  to  stay  this  hasty  proceeding,  etc.  Accordingly,  being  met, 
and  both  parties  (after  much  debate)  being  heard,  it  was  agreed  that  they  were  a 
true  church,  though  not  constituted  at  first,  in  due  order,  yet  after  consent  and 
practise  of  a  church  estate,  had  supplied  that  defect,  and  so  all  were  reconciled. § 

He  was  admitted  a  freeman  May  6,  1635.  It  seems  quite  probable  that  he  was 
the  minister  who  dissented  from  the  order  of  banishment  of  Roger  Williams,  in 
October,  1635,1  as  his  opinions  are  known  to  have  agreed  closely  with  those  of 
Williams,  and  no  minister  of  the  twelve  churches  then  established  possessed  his 
courage  in  maintaining  unpopular  opinions.  It  is  to  be  considered,  also,  that  he 
had  previously  been  disciplined  for  departure  from  the  established  customs,  and 
within  three  months  was  agian  in  trouble  from  the  same  cause.  In  January,  1635-6, 
says  Winthrop,  “Mr.  Batcheller,  of  Sagus,  was  convented  before  the  magistrates. 
The  cause  was,  for  that,  coming  out  of  England  with  a  small  body  of  six  or  seven 
persons,  and  having  since  received  in  many  more  at  Sagus,  and  contention  growing 
between  him  and  the  greatest  part  of  his  church  (who  had,  with  the  rest,  received 
him  for  their  pastor)  he  desired  dismission  for  himself  and  his  first  members,  which, 
being  granted,  upon  supposition  that  he  would  leave  the  town  (as  he  had  given  out) 
he, with  the  said  six  or  seven  persons,  presently  renewed  their  old  covenant,  intend¬ 
ing  to  raise  another  church  m  Sagus;  whereat  the  most  and  chief  of  the  town  being 
offended,  for  that  it  would  cross  their  intentions  of  calling  Mr.  Peter  or  some  other 
minister,  they  complained  to  the  magistrates,  who,  foreseeing  the  distraction  which 
was  like  to  come  by  this  course,  had  forbidden  him  to  proceed  in  any  such  church 
way  until  the  cause  were  considered  by  the  other  ministers,  etc.  But  he  refused 
to  desist.  Whereupon,  they  sent  for  him,  and  upon  his  delay,  day  after  day,  the 
marshal  was  sent  to  fetch  him.*iy  Upon  his  appearance  and  submission  and  promise 
to  remove  out  of  the  town  within  three  months,  he  was  discharged.*  Peter,  how¬ 
ever,  refused  to  settle  at  Lynn,  preferring  Salem. 

These  distractions  in  the  Sagus  church  continued  until  Christmas,  1635,  when  a 
general  fast  was  proclaimed,  for  that  cause  and  others,  and  presumably  continued 
until  February,  1636,  when  Bachiler  left  Lynn  and  went  to  Ipswich,  where  he 
received  a  grant  of  fifty  acres  of  land  and  a  prospect  of  settlement,  but,  for  some 
reason  not  yet  explained,  the  plan  miscarried.  It  was  about  this  time,  on  the  17th 
of  April,  1637,  that  Rev.  R.  Stansby  writes  Rev.  John  Wilson  from  England  that 
he  is  grieved  that,  “Others  laye  downe  the  ministry  and  become  private  members, 
as  Mr.  Bacheler,  Mr.  James,  and  Mr.  Nathan  Ward,  etc.”  He  adds  that  this  fact, 
and  others  of  like  nature  were  now  much  talked  about,  and  that  many  worthy 
people  were  prevented  from  emigrating  to  New  England  for  these  reasons,  and 
suggests  that  greater  liberty  be  granted  in  the  admission  of  members  to  the 
church.”  Under  Mo.  i,  1637-8,  Winthrop  says,  “Another  plantation  was  now  in 
hand  at  Mattakeese  (now  Yarmouth)  six  miles  beyond  Sandwich.  The  undertaker 
of  this  was  one  Mr.  Batchellor,  late  pastor  at  Sagus  (since  called  Lynn),  being 
about  seventy-six  years  of  age ;  yet  he  walked  thither  on  foot  in  a  very  hard  season. 
He  and  his  company,  being  all  poor  men,  finding  the  difficulty,  gave  it  over,  and 
others  undertook  it.  ”J  The  inducement  which  led  him  to  attempt  a  settlement 
at  Yarmouth  was  undoubtedly  the  fact  that  in  1637  a  large  number  of  his  former 
parishioners  removed  from  Lynn  and  commenced  a  settlement  at  Sandwich,  near 
Yarmouth,  under  a  grant  from  Plymouth  Colony.  J  Bachiler’s  settlement  is  said  to 
have  been  made  in  that  part  of  Barnstable  (then  Yarmouth)  called  Old  Town,  and 
was  about  one  hundred  miles  from  Ipswich,  where  he  resided.  His  next  remov¬ 
al  was  to  Newbury,  where,  on  the  6th  of  July,  1638,  the  town  made  him  a 
grant  of  land,  and  on  the  7th  of  October,  1638,  the  General  Court  of  Massachu¬ 
setts,  in  order  to  be  rid  of  a  troublesome  pastor,  and  also  to  strengthen  their  claim 
to  the  territory,  more  than  three  miles  north  of  the  Merrimac,  granted  Mr.  Stephen 
Bachiler  and  his  company,  who  had  petitioned  therefor,  liberty  to  begin  a  planta-

tion  at  Winnicunnet,  now  called  Hampton,  X.  H.  On  Tuesday,  October  i6,  1638, 
the  settlement  was  begun,  the  journey  from  Newbury  being  made  in  a  shallop.  On 
the  "th  of  June,  1639,  Winnicunnet  was  made  a  town,  and  further  about  the  same 
time  the  said  plantation  (upon  Mr.  Bachiler’s  request  made  known  to  the  Court) 
was  named  Hampton. This  name  was  most  probably  given  in  honor  of  Hampton, 
that  is,  Southampton,  in  England,  repeatedly  refers  to  Southampton  as  Hampton.  || 
It  will  also  be  remembered  that  South  Stoneliam,  adjoining  Southampton,  and  in  the 
gift  of  St.  Mary’s  of  Southampton,  was  the  last  residence  of  Mr.  Bachiler  in  England. 
In  1639,  the  inhabitants  of  Ipswich  voted  to  give  Mr.  Bachiler  sixty  acres  of  upland 
and  twenty  acres  of  meadow,  if  he  would  reside  with  them  three  years.  He  pre¬ 
ferred  his  settlement  at  Hampton.  On  the  5th  of  July,  1639,  he  and  Christopher 
Hussey  sold  their  houses  and  lands  in  Newbury  for  six  score  pounds,”  and  there¬ 
after  his  entire  interest  was  with  the  Hampton  settlement.  The  town,  in  1639, 
granted  their  pastor  three  hundred  acres  of  land  for  a  farm,  besides  his  house  lot, 
and  he  gave  them  a  bell  for  the  meeting  house.  This  bell  remained  in  use  until 
about  February  15,  1703-4,  when  the  town  voted  that  the  selectmen  should  agree  with 
William  Partridge,  Esq.,  to  procure  the  town  a  good  one  from  England  of  about 
one  hundred  and  thirtie  weight  and  that  they  send  to  him  the  ould  bell  that  is  split 
to  mak  of  that  what  the  sd  Mr.  Partridge  can  towards  the  paying  for  a  new 
one.‘[  The  farm  was  laid  out  to  him  in  the  extreme  southern  limits  of  Hampton, 
adjoining  Salisbury.  In  Hampton  record  book,  containing  the  grants  in  the  year 
1644  and  1658,  copied  according  to  the  town  vote,  concerning  the  copying  of  grants

towards  the  west  more  or  less  as  itt  is  layd  outt. 

The  earliest  statement  of  the  bounds  of  Hampton  is  said  to  be  taken  from  a 
very  old  manuscript,  and  is  as  follows:  Bounded  on  the  north  by  Strawben-y  Bank, 
east  by  the  Atlantic  Ocean,  south  by  Salisbur}^  and  west  by  the  wilderness.*  Nine 
entire  towns  and  parts  of  two  towns  have  since  been  set  off  or  established  from 
territory  then  belonging  to  Hampton. 

In  1639  Rev.  Timothy  Dalton  became  teacher  of  the  church  at  Hampton,  Mr. 
Bachiler  remaining  as  pastor.  From  his  arrival  dates  the  fierce  conflicts  in  the 
church,  which  must  have  prevented  either  minister  from  accomplishing  any  good 
in  the  community.  The  larger  portion  of  the  worshippers  sided  with  Mr.  Qalton,

having  been  his  parishioners  in  England  at  Woolverstone,  Ipswich,  in  Suffolk.t 
This  gave  Dalton  an  advantage  in  the  contest,  though  his  opponent,  educated  in  the 
most  famous  English  university,  of  excellent  natural  abilities,  a  keen  disputant, 
quick  to  attack  the  weak  point  in  his  enemy’s  armor,  courageous  and  unyielding, 
was  no  mean  antagonist.  Bachiler  was  positive,  earnest  and  convincing.  He  spoke 
as  one  having  authority  and  from  knowledge  of  the  truth.  Dalton  was  younger, 
more  active,  and  perhaps  more  vehement,  than  his  elder  colleague.  He  was  more 
politic  than  Bachiler.  but  fully  as  tenacious  of  his  opinions.  By  his  residence  in 
Dedham,  he  had  learned  the  plans  and  desires  of  Massachusetts,  and  earnestlv 
espoused  them.  He  had  the  powerful  support  of  the  Bay  Colony,  and  was  perhaps 
made  teacher  of  the  Hampton  church  in  order  to  combat  the  pastor's  independent 
influence.  The  history*  of  this  three-years’  contest  between  the  pastor  and  teacher 
of  the  church  at  Hampton  has  nearly  passed  into  obscurity.  The  town  records 
show  nothing  concerning  it.  The  church  records  of  that  date  have  disappeared. 
The  only  thing  remaining  is  Winthrop’s  relation  of  the  utterly  improbable  story 
that  Mr.  Bachiler  evidently  esteemed  of  pure  life  to  that  time,  at  the  age  of  four 
score  years  solicited  the  chastity  of  his  neighbor’s  \vife.i  Winthrop  adds,  appar- 
entlj-  as  a  circumstance  of  aggravation,  that  Mr.  Bachiler  then  had  "a  lusty,  comely 
woman  to  his  wife.”  This  was  evidently  one  of  the  provoking  matters  which 
Rev.  Thomas  Shepard  advised  Winthrop  might  be  left  to  the  judgment  of  others  to 
publish  when  the  copj'  of  his  history-  was  privately  examined.  That  Winthrop 
himself  would  have  struck  out  this  record  if  he  had  been  alive  at  its  publication  is 
extremely  probable.  Consider  for  a  moment  the  evidence  against  this  accusation. 
I.  The  advanced  age  of  the  accused  and  his  previous  good  character  almost  certainly 
prove  this  story  a  fabrication.  2.  The  immorality  of  the  settlers  east  of  the  Merrimack 
was  urged  as  a  reason  why  that  region  should  come  under  Massachusetts’  rule.  To 
support  that  statement  numerous  people  in  the  two  eastern  colonies  were  charged 
with  sexual  crimes.  It  is  doutful  if  any  of  them  were  true,  except  in  the  case  of 
Underhill,  who  was  forgiven  as  soon  as  he  had  transferred  his  allegiance  to  the 
Bay,  and  perhaps  Burdett,  minister  at  Agamenticus,  who  was  indicted  for  adultery. 
3.  Such  solicitation  was  criminal  olfense  in  those  da^-s,  punishable  with  severe  penal¬ 
ties.^  No  indictment  was  ever  found  against  Mr.  Bachiler,  and  no  charge  ever 
made  against  him  to  any  magistrate.  On  the  contrary-,  he  charged  his  accusers 
with  the  crime  of  slander  before  the  magistrates.  4.  Early  in  1644,  Mr.  Bachiler 
had  a  call  to  settle  at  Exeter.  The  path  between  Hampton  and  Exeter  was  short 
and  easih' travelled.  Hampton  gossip  was  repeated  in  Exeter  in  a  few  days,  if 
the  highly  respectable  people  of  Exeter  had  supposed  there  was  a  scintilla  of  truth  in 
the  charges  they  would  not  have  called  the  offender  to  be  their  pastor.  Moreover, 
the  prohibition  of  the  General  Court  of  Massachusetts  against  Bachiler  settling 
Exeter  church.  If  he  had  been  supposed  guilty  of  impurity  it  would  have  been  a 
conclusive  reason  against  his  settlement  at  Exeter,  and  we  can  hardl)-  suspect  the 
General  Court  of  dissembling  and  basing  their  action  upon  a  weaker  reason  when  a 
stronger  existed.  Such  was  not  their  usual  custom.  5.  But  it  is  said  that  he  con¬ 
fessed  the  crime,  though  he  afterwards  denied  it.  If  true,  that  would  end  all  con¬ 
troversy.  All  writers  on  evidence  declare  ihat  admissions  or  confessions  are  worthy 
of  little  credence  unless  made  in  the  plainest  terms  and  with  the  clearest  understand¬ 
ing  of  the  facts  of  the  case.  An  examination  of  Winthrop's  History  would  induce 
us  to  believe  that  New  England  was  then  full  of  all  kinds  of  sexual  crimes,  and  that 
nearly  ever}-  person  accused  confessed  his  guilt.  A  sli.ght  examination  of  the  acts, 
which  were  deemed  confessions  in  those  days,  show  their  utter  untrustworthiness 
as  evidence.  To  refuse  to  plead  either  guilty  or  not  guilty  was  wrested  into  a 
confession.*' 

It  is  evident  that  Bachiler  never  confessed  in  words.  The  charge  was  based  on 
some  alleged  admission  by  conduct.  The  representation  of  Bachiler  as  a  whiffling, 
inconstant  man  is  entirely  foreign  to  his  character.  Winthrop’s  words.  “He  stiffly 
denied  It,  ”  clearly  represent  his  disposition.  He  was  a  positive,  obstinate,  tena¬ 
cious,  unyielding  man.  When  he  made  a  statement  he  stood  by  his  words,  and  did 
not  contradict  them  shortly  after.  It  is  almost  impossible  to  believe  that  any  excite¬ 
ment  arising  from  the  outrageousness  of  the  charge,  any  indignation  aroused  by  his 
innocence,  or  any  fear  caused  by  knowledge  of  guilt,  could  make  him,  on  a  single

occasion  only,  in  the  course  of  his  long  and  contentious  life,  uncertain  and  vaccilat- 
ing.  He  was  evidently  misunderstood  or  misrepresented.  Probably  the  latter. 
The  so-called  confession  had  this  basis  and  no  more.  Bachiler’s  project  had  failed. 
The  Bay  Colony  had  succeeded  in  its  design  against  New  Hampshire.  The  opposi¬ 
tion  to  Bachiler  in  the  church  at  Hampton,  previously  a  majority,  was  greatly 
strengthened  by  union  of  the  provinces  in  1641.  Dalton  had  succeeded  in  excom¬ 
municating  him.  At  last,  wearied  with  the  contest,  Bachiler  accepted  the  inevitable 
and  agreed  to  remove  “for  peace’s  sake,’’  as  he  wrote  Winthrop.  In  order  to  justify 
to  Winthrop  their  unlawful  act  in  excommunicating  Bachiler,  Dalton  and  his  adher¬ 
ents  told  Winthrop  that  Bachiler  had  confessed  the  truth  of  the  charge,  and  claimed 
that  his  offer  to  remove  voluntarily  was  a  confession  in  guilt  That  this  act  was  a 
confession  was  indignantly  denied  by  the  pastor,  and  so  arose  the  charge  that  he 
confessed  and  then  retracted  his  confession.  What  absurd  constructions  were 
given  to  words  in  those  days  in  order  to  allege  that  a  confession  had  been  made  can 
be  seen  by  examining  Wheelwright’s  letter  in  connection  with  the  statement  of  the 
Massachusetts  General  Court,  in  1644,  that  Mr.  Wheelwright  had  made  a  particular, 
solemn  and  serious  acknowledgement  and  confession  of  his  evil  carriages  and  of 
the  Court’s  justice  upon  him  for  them."  Winthrop  accepted  as  true  the  word  of 
Bachiler’s  enemies,  and  neglected  to  give  the  aged  pastor  a  hearing  for  his  vindica¬ 
tion,  though  urgently  demanded.  6.  The  Hampton  records  of  this  date  are  silent 
in  regard  to  this  matter  and  the  church  records  have  been  missing  for  many  years. 
They  can  give  no  testimony  either  way.  7.  No.  tradition  exists  in  Hampton,  or, 
so  far  as  can  be  learned,  has  ever  existed,  giving  the  name  of  this  woman  or  her 
husband,  and  no  written  evidence  of  any  kind  has  ever  been  produced,  except  the 
story  as  preserved  by  Winthrop.  Who  was  this  woman?  Was  the  complaint  made 
promptly?  Was  her  word  worthy  of  credence?  Was  she  of  pure  life?  Did  she  per¬ 
sist  in  her  declaration?  Did  she  afterwards  retract  the  charge?  Did  she  live  in 
Hampton  many  years  afterwards,  and  was  she  during  this  time  on  friendly  terms 
with  the  accused  until  his  removal  from  town?  We  cannot  test  the  truth  of  the 
charge  by  answers  to  these  questions,  for  we  have  no  evidence  on  these  points. 
8.  During  all  this  time  Bachiler  was  carrying  on  a  correspondence  with  Governor 
Winthrop  and  members  of  his  family.  If  he  had  confessed  the  crime  Dalton  would 
have  promptly  notified  Winthrop  of  that  fact,  and  Bachiler  would  soon  have  found 
that  Winthrop  knew  it.  On  the  contrary,  at  the  end  of  the  year  1643  we  find  him 
writing  to  the  church  at  Boston  that  he  does  not  see  how  he  can  leave  Hampton 
until  he  has  cleared  and  vindicated  the  wrongs  he  has  suffered  in  the  church  of 
which  he  was  still  a  member.  He  demands  a  trial  of  his  allegations  against  Mr. 
Dalton  and  of  Dalton’s  defense.  He  says  that  divers  elders  and  brethren  have 
looked  slightly  into  the  troubles,  but  there  has  never  been  a  judicial  trial  of  them. 
He  affirms  that  his  excommunication  as  the  foulest  matter,  both  for  the  cause 
alleged  and  the  real  cause  (even  wrath  and  revenge).  The  proceedings  of  Dalton 
against  him  he  declares  to  be  monstrous  and  fearful.  Brook  says:  “The  supposition 
that  the  charges  of  immorality  against  Hugh  Peter  were  true  is  inconsistent  with 
the  intimate  relations  which  he  is'known  to  have  sustained  to  many  eminent  men  of 
unquestionable  worth.* 

9.  Would  Winthrop  and  his  family  have  been  friends  and  correspondents  of  one 
whom  they  knew  to  be  immoral? 

It  must  be  remembered  that  no  charge  is  so  easily  made,  so  readily  believed 
without  proof,  and  so  difficult  to  disprove.  The  allegation  alone  is  frequently 
considered  full  proof.  It  was  not  incumbent  on  the  accused  to  prove  the  negative, 
that  he  was  not  guilty.  The  burden  of  proof  was  on  the  complainant  to  make  out  a 
case,  and  it  certainly  never  was  proven.  The  testimony  of  the  woman,  aided  by 
confession,  would  have  made  a  strong  case  for  the  Colony  in  a  criminal  prosecution, 
and  as  the  respondent  could  not  testify  it  would  have  been  impossible  to  jiroduce 
any  legal  e'ddence  in  his  behalf.  This  fact  clearly  indicates  that  no  confession  that 
could  have  been  received  in  court  was  ever  made.  In  a  like  case  in  1642,  supported 
by  similar  evidence.  Rev.  Janies  Parker,  then  of  Portsmouth,  thought  the  matter 
not  worthy  of  complaint  for  lack  of  evidence,  and  did  not  report  it  to  the  Massa¬ 
chusetts  magistrates.!  10.  Nearly  two  years  after  his  excommunication,  the  matter 
was  referred  to  some  magistrates  and  elders,  and  thrr>ugh  their  mediation  he  was 
released  of  his  excommunication,  but  not  received  to  his  pastor’s  office.  It  is 
undoubtedly  to  this  half  undoing  of  the  great  wTong  done  him  that  Bachiler  refers 
in  his  letter  to  the  church  in  Boston  in  1643,  when  he  says  “Whiles  my  cause  (tho

searching  forth  ot  things,  &  an  impatiall  tryall  of  my  allegations  &  his  defence.”:]: 
Was  not  reversal  of  the  punishment  a  vindication  of  the  accused?  That  the  medi¬ 
ators  refused  to  restore  him  to  his  office  of  pastor  was  due  to  the  divided  state  of 
the  Hampton  church,  not  to  any  delinquency  on  the  pastor’s  part.  it.  The  year  he 
was  excommunicated  he  was  chosen  umpire  in  the  important  suit  of  Cleeve  vs. 
Winter,  and  Winter  vs.  Cleeve,  involving  title  to  the  land  now  occupied  by  the  city 
of  Portland,  Me.  It  is  possible  that  this  appointment  was  prior  to  his  excommuni¬ 
cation,  but  in  1643  he  received  a  call  to  Casco.  They  must  then  have  known  the 
slander.  Did  they  discredit  it,  or  did  they  consider  it  no  wrong?  12.  Even  Governor 
Wmthrop  was  evidentl)^  ashamed  of  the  means  used  by  Dalton  to  destroy'  the  good 
name  of  Mr.  Bachiler,  as  he  adds  to  his  account  of  the  trouble,  “his  fellow  elder, 
Mr.  Dalton  (who,  indeed,  had  not  carried  himself  in  this  cause  so  well  as  became 
him,  and  was  brought  to  see  his  failing  and  acknowledge  it  to  the  elders  of  the  other 
churches,  who  had  taken  much  pains  about  this  matter).”  How  unjustifiable  must 
have  been  Dalton's  conduct  to  induce  Governor  Winlhrop  to  censure  him  in  this 
manner,  when  Dalton  was  his  friend,  perhaps  his  relative,  certainly  a  relative  of  his 
son,  John  Winthrop,  and  an  orthodox  Puritan,  for  acts  done  in  interest  of  the 
Baj’  Colony  1  The  penitence  of  Dalton,  however,  could  not  undo  the  wrong  to 
Bachiler.  Was  not  the  gift  of  most  of  her  property  to  Nathaniel  Bachiler,  senior, 
the  grandson  of  Rev.  Stephen,  by  the  widow  Ruth,  relief  of  Rev.  Timothy  Dalton, 
evidence  of  an  attempt  on  her  part  to  atone  as  far  as  possible  for  the  wrong  done  by 
her  husband  to  Nathaniel’s  grandfather?  We  have  thus  briefly  indicated  a  few  of 
the  improbabilities  of  the  story  as  it  has  come  down  to  us.  It  seems  utterly 
unworthy  of  belief,  and  it  ma}-  safely  be  charged  to  the  bitterness  of  the  disputes 
which  then  existed  in  religions  and  secular  matters.  The  call  to  Casco,  already 
mentioned,  was  received  in  the  latter  part  of  1643.  George  Cleeve  wrote  Governor 
Winthrop  the  27th  of  the  nth  month,  1643,  that  “they,  (the  inhabitants  of  Lygonia) 
seeing  us  about  to  settle  ourselves  under  the  ministry,  and  that  the  Lord  will 
gather  a  church  amongst  us,|  Bachiler  communicated  with  the  church  at  Boston  and 
received  from  the  magistrates  and  elders  a  letter  of  advice  urging  the  acceptance  of  the 
call,  presumably  because  they  were  weary  of  the  bickering  at  Hampton,  and  thought  it 
would  be  ended  by  the  removal  of  Mr.  Bachiler.  He  replied  to  this  letter  of  advice, 
under  the  date  of  the  "26th  of  this  last  m  1643,”  objecting  that  his  removal  from 
Hampton  to  Casco  was  forced  by  unjust  proceedings,  as  well  as  by  an  honorable 
calling  from  Casco,  and  like  honorable  advice  from  the  church  m  Boston.  He  states 
his  unwillingness  to  accept  the  call  before  he  has  a  hearing  of  his  allegations  against 
Dalton,  and  asks  for  a  full  trial  of  the  same.  He  said  he  had  promised  to  go  to 
Casco  and  confer  with  them  in  regard  to  the  call  about  the  last  week  of  March, 
1643-4.  This  call  probably  came  from  Cleeve,  who  had  recently  returned  from 
England  with  a  commission  from  Rigby  as  deputy  president  of  Lygonia.  While 
the  call  to  Casco  was  under  consideration,  and  very  early  in  1644,  Mr.  Bachiler 
received  a  call  to  Exeter.  By  a  letter  dated  the  i8th  or  19th  of  this  third  month, 
1644,  written  by  Mr.  Bachiler.  we  learn  that  the  Massachusetts  magistrates  and 
elders  had  considered  this  last  call,  and  had  simply  advised  IMr.  Bachiler  to  remove 
from  Hampton,  leavnng  him  apparently  free  to  choose  whichever  settlement  he 
pleased.  As  he  had  not  accepted  the  call  to  Casco,  he  choose  to  settle  at  Exeter, 
and  notified  the  Exeter  church  of  his  acceptance.  He  also  voluntarily  suggested  to 
the  Exeter  people  that  they  could  not  expect  to  maintain  a  church  and  minister  long 
unless  they  made  provisions  for  a  parsonage,  and  offered  to  contribute  ;^40,  nearly 
the  whole  of  his  annual  salary,  toward  the  purchase  of  Mr.  Wheelwright’s  house 
for  that  purpose.  The  day  of  the  helpers’  meeting  was  agreed  upon,  and  the  persons 
and  materials  of  their  intended  church.  An  unexpected  event,  however,  was  to 
prevent  his  settlement.  The  Bay  Colony,  discovering  the  intended  settlement  at 
Exeter,  then  within  their  jurisdiction,  promptly  forbade  the  gathering  of  a  church 
there.  Just  ten  days  after  receiving  notice  of  the  proposed  settlement  at  Exeter, 
the  General  Court  of  'Massachusetts,  held  at  Boston  May  29,  1644,  adopted  the  fol¬ 
lowing  order: 

“Whereas,  it  appears  to  this  Cort  that  some  of  the  inhabitants  of  Exeter  do 
intend  shortly  to  gather  a  church  &  call  Mr.  Bachiler  to  be  their  minister,  & 
forasmuch  as  the  divisions  &  contentions  wch  are  among  the  inhabitants  there  are 
iudged  by  this  Cort  to  bee  such  as  for  the  psnt  they  cannot  comfortably  &  wth

appbation  pceed  in  so  weightly  &  sacred  affaires,  it  is  therefore  ordered,  that  direc¬ 
tion  shal  be  fourthwth  sent  to  the  said  inhabitants  to  deferr  the  gathering  of  any 
church,  or  other  such  pceeding  untill  this  Cort  or  the  Cort  at  Ipswich  lupon  further 
satisfaction  of  their  reconciliation  &  fitness)  shall  give  allowance  thereunto.  ”*T 

That  the  true  reason  for  the  prohibition  was  stated  in  this  order  is  evident 
because  that  reason  could  be  inquired  into  by  the  Ispwich  court,  and  upon  evidence 
of  their  reconciliation  and  fitness  the  order  of  the  General  Court  could  be  revoked. 
Winthrop  gives  the  same  reason,  and  adds,  “and  beside,  Mr.  Batchellor  had  been 
in  three  places  before,  and  through  his  means,  as  was  supposed,  the  churches  fell  to 
such  divisions,  as  no  peace  could  be  till  he  was  removed.”*  The  General  Court 
evidently  did  not  care  to  put  its  opposition  on  that  ground.  Accepting  the  inevita¬ 
ble,  Mr.  Bachiler  settled  down  at  Hampton  again.  He  was  a  church  member,  but 
probably  did  not  preach.  At  a  general  court  of  election,  held  at  Boston,  May  29, 
1644,  it  was  ordered  that  “Mr.  Bellingham,  Mr.  Saltonstall  &  Mr.  Symonds  are 
appointed  a  committee  &  have  full  power  to  heer  &  determine  all  business  at 
Hampton  both  about  their  differences,  offences  &  a  new  plantation  according  to 
their  several  petitions. ’’f  On  the  nth  day  of  June,  1644,  on  petition  of  Xpofer 
Hussie  and  eighteen  others  of  ye  inhabitants  of  Hampton,  “Mr.  Bellingham,  Mr. 
Saltonstall  &  Mr.  Broadstreet  are  a  comittee  to  examine  and  judge  the  differences 
between  the  inhabitants.  J  This  was  undoubtedly  a  petition  of  the  adherents  of 
Bachiler,  as  Hussey  was  his  son-in-law.  It  will  be  noticed  that  the  commissioners 
are  the  same  as  previously  appointed,  except  that  Mr.  Bradstreet  takes  the  place  of 
Mr.  Symonds.  The  first  order  was  adopted  the  very  day  the  Exeter  settlement 
was  prohibited.  The  latter  was  nearly  a  fortnight  later;  very  likely  the  appointment 
of  Mr.  Symonds  was  offensive  to  Mr.  Bachiler.  The  same  year,  November  12, 
1C44,  it  is  ordered  by  the  Massachusetts  General  Court  that  Mr.  Samuell  Dudley, 
Mr.  Carlton  &  Mr.  John  Saunders  of  Salsberry  shal  be  comissionrs  to  here  and 
examine  all  matters'  concerning  Mr.  Bachiler  &  Hampton:  &  they  have  power  to 
examine  witnesses  upon  oath,  whereby  they  may  returne  the  truth  of  the  case  to 
the  next  Genrall  Cort  of  Election. ”§  Under  date  of  July  15,  1644,  Winthrop  says: 
"The  contentions  in  Hampton  were  grown  to  a  great  height,  the  whole  town  was 
divided  into  two  factions,  one  with  Mr.  Batcheller,  their  late  pastor,  and  the  other 
with  Mr.  Dalton,  their  teacher,  both  men  very  passionate  and  wanting  discretion 
and  moderation.  Their  differences  were  not  in  matters  of  opinion,  but  of  practise. 
Mr.  Dalton’s  party  being  the  most  of  the  church,  and  so  freemen  had  great  advan¬ 
tage  of  the  other,  though  a  considerable  party,  and  some  of  them  of  the  church  also, 
whereby  they  carried  all  affaiers,  both  in  church  and  town,  according  to  their  own 
minds,  and  not  with  that  respect  to  their  brethren  and  neighbors  which  had  been 
fit.  Divers  meetings  had  been,  both  of  magistrates  and  elders,  and  parties  had  been 
reconciled,  but  brake  out  presently  again,  each  side  being  apt  to  take  fire  upon  any 
provocation.  Whereupon  Mr.  Bachellor  was  advised  to  remove,  »  and  at 

this  court  there  came  petition  against  petition  both  from  Hampton  and  Exeter; 
whereupon  the  court  ordered  two  or  three  magistrates  to  be  sent  to  Hampton  with 
full  power  to  hear  and  determine  all  differences  there.”  || 

klay  14.  1635,  “In  answ'er  to  Mr.  Bachiler’s  peticon,  ye  House  of  Depts  conceave 
it  not  meet  to  allow  him  anything,  but  leav'e  hime  at  his  liberty  to  seeke  his  remedy 
at  any  of  ye  Courts  of  Salem  or  Ispwich. This  was  probably  a  petition  to  the 
General  Court  to  make  him  some  allowance  for  his  services  at  Hampton.  About 
this  time,  probably,  his  second  wife,  Hellen,  died  at  Hampton,  aged  about  sixty 
years.  He  sold  his  farm  at  Hampton  to  William  Howard  and  Thomas  Ward  in 
1644,  and  they  sold  it  to  the  town,  who  afterwards  granted  it  to  Rev.  John  Wheel¬ 
wright. 

On  the  26th  of  April,  1647,  Mr.  Bachiler  had  left  Hampton,  and  was  living  in 
Portsmouth,  then  called  Strawberry  Bank.  On  that  day  he  conveyed  all  his  remain¬ 
ing  estate  at  Hampton,  including  all  grants  not  appointed,  to  his  grandson,  John 
Sanborn,  who  was  to  give  bond  to  pay  the  grantor’s  other  three  grandchildren, 
namely,  Nathaniel  Bachiler.  Stephen  Samborn  and  William  Samborn,  £20  each.*

BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY. 


Bachiler  was  never  settled  ministerially  at  Strawberry  Bank,  but  undoubtedly 
preached  there  a  part  of  the  time.  I 

Portsmouth  then  had  no  settled  Congregational  minister.  "That  godly  man  and 
a  scholar,"  James  Parker,  who,  though  not  settled,  had  preached  there  several 
years,  had  shortly  before  gone  to  Barbadoes.  J  On  the  27th  of  June,  1647,  James 
Woodward  made  his  will,  and  appointed  Mr.  Bachiler  one  of  his  overseers.  This 
will  was  proved  at  Dover  September  10.  1647.^  On  the  6:  2  mo. :  1650,  the  town  of 
Hampton  authorized  the  three  men,  William  Fuller,  William  Esto  and  Francis 
Peabody,  as  they  are  summonsed  to  answer  Mr.  Bachiler’s  action  at  Solsbery  Court, 
in  the  towme's  behalf.  J  Shortly  after  his  removal  to  Strawberry  Bank,  Mr.  Bachiler’s 
usual  good  judgment  seems  to  have  deserted  him.  He  was  a  widower,  and 
obtained  for  a  housekeeper  a  widow,  whom  he  calls  "an  honest  neighbour.”  He  soon 
married  her,  and  the  match  turned  out  in  every  way  unfortunate.  She  was  an 
adultress,  and  her  husband  speedih-  discovered  her  character.  His  third  marriage 
is  usually  said  to  have  been  contracted  early  in  1650,  but  as  the  town  of  Kittery 
granted  her  a  lot,  under  the  name  of  Mrs.  Batcheller,  on  the  14th  of  Februar}^  1648,  |1 
the  marriage  must  have  taken  place  in  1647  or  1648,  when  he  was  eighty-six  or  eighty- 
seven  years  old.  His  wife,  ]\Iary,  was  evidently  much  younger  than  he.  In  May, 
1650,  he  was  fined  ^10  for  not  publishing  his  intention  of  marriage  according  to  law. 
In  October  of  the  same  year,  one-half  of  this  fine  was  remitted.  Perhaps  the 
following  extract  from  the  Gorgeana  Records  may  explain  this  leniency:  "At  a 
General  court  houlden  at  Gorgeana  the  15th  of  Octor.,  1650,  George  Rogers  &  Mrs. 
Batcheller  prsented  upon  vehement  suspition  of  incontinency  for  liveing  in  one 
house  together  &  being  in  one  rome.  They  are  to  be  separated  before  the  next  court 
or  to  pay  40s.  ’  ’ 

Lewis  copies  from  the  York  records,  under  date  of  October  15,  1651,  the  follow¬ 
ing:  "We  do  present  George  Rogers  and  Mary  Batcheller,  the  wife  of  Mr.  Stephen 
Batcheller,  minister,  for  adulters-.  It  is  ordered  that  Mrs.  Batcheller,  for  her  adultery, 
shall  receive  forty  stripes  save  one,  at  the  first  town  meeting  held  at  Kittery,  6  weeks 
after  her  delivery,  and  be  branded  with  the  letter  A.’’*  These  appear  clearly  to  be 
two  separate  offences.  In  October  of  the  same  year,  the  Court  passed  the  following 
order:  “That  Mr.  Batchelor  and  his  wife  shall  lyve  togeather  as  man  and  wife,  as 
in  this  Court  they  have  publiquely  professed  to  doe;  and  if  either  desert  one 
another,  then  hereby  the  Court  doth  order  that  the  marshal  shall  apprehend  both 
the  said  Mr.  Batchelor  and  Mary  his  wife,  and  bring  them  forthwith  to  Boston, 
there  to  be  kept  till  the  next  Quarter  Court  of  Assistants,  that  farther  consideration 
thereof  may  be  had,  both  of  them  moving  fora  divorce:  and  this  order  shall  be 
sufficient  order  soe  to  doe:  provided  notwithstanding,  that  if  they  put  in  ,^50  each 
of  them  for  their  appearance,  with  such  sureties  as  the  commissioners  or  any  of 
them  for  the  county  shall  think  good  to  accept  of,  that  then  they  shall  be  under 
their  baile,  to  appear  at  the  next  Court  of  Assistants:  and  in  case  Mar}'  Batchelor 
shall  live  out  of  the  jurisdiction  without  mutual  consent  for  a  time  that  then  the 
dark  shall  give  notice  to  the  magistrate  att  Boston,  of  her  absence,  that  further 
order  may  be  taken  therein."  It  is  evident  that  Mr.  Bachiler  charged  his  wife  with 
adultery  and  prayed  for  a  divorce.  The  here  was  deferred  to  the  next  court  of 
assistants.  She  had  been  indicted  for  adultery  in  Maine.  In  view  of  these  facts,  the 
above  order  is  most  atrocious.  The  man  is  ordered  to  live  as  a  husband  with  an 
adultress  during  the  pendency  of  divorce  proceedings  for  ttiat  cause,  and  a  term  in 
jail  is  threatened  for  disobedience  of  the  order  with  the  usual  privilege  of  giving 
bail.  Was  not  Lewis’  explanation  of  this  unaccountable  order  the  correct  one, 
namely,  that  there  was  a  settled  determination  to  make  his  continuance  here  as 
uncomfortable  as  possible?  After  her  separation  from  her  husband  Mrs.  Mary 
Bachiler  lived  on  her  lot  in  Kittery,  granted  her  in  1648,  adjoining  the  Piscataqua 
river,  nearly  opposite  the  boundary  line  between  Portsmouth  and  Newington. 
What  became  of  her  and  her  children  after  October,  1656,  when  they  were  living  in 
Kittery,  is  not  known,  but  the  name,  "Mary  Bachellor’s  Highway,”  is  given  as  the 
northwest  boundary  of  a  lot  at  Kittery,  conveyed  by  William  Hilton,  of  Exeter,  to 
his  son,  Richard,  May,  4,  1684.+

On  the  14th  of  October,  1651,  in  answer  to  the  petition  of  Richard  Swayne, 
Wm.  Swayne  and  others  of  the  towne  of  Hampton,  itt  is  ordered,  that  whatsoever 
goods  or  lands  have  binn  taken  away  by  Edward  Colcord  or  John  Samborn,  upon 
pretence  of  being  authorized  by  Mr.  Batchelor,  either  with  or  without  execution, 
shall  be  retourned  to  them  from  whom  it  was  taken  and  the  execution,  to  be  called 
in  and  no  more  to  be  graunted  untill  there  appear  sufficient  power  from  Mr. 
Batchelor  to  recover  the  same  to  the  County  Court  either  of  vSalisbury  or  Hampton.:}: 
That  is,  in  1645  the  General  Court  refers  him  to  the  courts  at  Salem  or  Ispwich  for 
relief  in  some  matter  about  which  he  had  petitioned  them,  apparently  concerning 
his  claim  on  Hampton  for  services. 

In  1647,  he  brought  suit  in  a  court  of  like  jurisdiction,  at  Salisbury,  recovers 
judgment,  obtains  execution  and  attempts  to  levy,  not  on  the  town,  but  on,  private 
property.  Naturally,  he  levied  on  the  property  of  his  well-to-do  opponents,  and  as 
naturally  they  objected  to  paying  the  town’s  debts.  Justice  required  an  order  that 
the  town  of  Hampton  should  raise  the  amount  of  the  executions  in  their  next  tax 
levy,  as  the  statute  allowing  persons  having  executions  against  towns,  which 
they  cannot  collect,  to  levy  on  private  property,  was  not  then  enacted.  Instead  of 
such  order  to  levy  a  tax  and  pay  the  executions,  he  was  ordered  to  retry  his  case  in 
court.  Hampton  was  then  a  rich  and  prosperous  town,  and  up  to  1700  paid  a  larger 
share  of  the  Province  tax  that  any  other  town  in  New  Hampshire. g  At  length, 
wearied  with  the  unsuccessful  conflict  and  the  constant  disappointment  of  his 
expectations,  heartsick  with  the  failure  of  all  his  plans  for  a  quiet  rest  for  his  old 
age  in  that  “band  of  righteousness,”  which,  he  says,  “our  New  England  is,”  he 
decided  to  return  to  England.  Harried  and  persecuted  by  the  vindictiveness  of  the 
bishops  of  England  for  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century,  he  came  hither  to  escape 
their  persecution.  He  found,  not  the  peace  he  sought,  but  a  conflict  more  bitter  and 
persistent  than  ever  he  had  experienced  in  England.  Persecution  here  was  unham¬ 
pered  by  any  laws  or  limitations.  Appeal  was  in  vain.  A  few  attempts  were  made 
to  review  unlawful  acts  of  the  colonies  in  England,  but  the  delays  were  intermina¬ 
ble,  the  process  costly  and  the  results  unsatisfactory.  His  matrimonial  difficulties 
also  led  him  to  return  to  England.  His  petition  for  divorce  seems  not  to  have  been 
granted,  and  we  know  of  no  modification  of  the  order  that  he  should  continue  to 
live  with  adulterous  wife.  How  could  he  escape  that  wicked  woman  except  by 
placing  the  ocean  between  himself  and  her?  Another  strong  reason  for  his  journey 
home  is  found  in  the  changed  statqof  political  affairs  there.  The  kingdom  no  longer 
existed.  Charles  I.  and  Stafford  had  been  beheaded.  Episcopacy  as  a  state  religion 
had  been  abolished.  Edghill,  Marston  Moor,  Naseby  and  Worcester  had  fought. 
The  commonwealth  had  been  established.  Oliver  Cromwell  had  just  become  Lord 
Protector.  No  wonder  the  aged  mini.ster  longed  to  look  upon  England  under  these 
changed  conditions.  It  has  been  said  that  he  was  a  friend  of  Cromwell.  Whether 
true  or  not,  his  friends  were  now  at  the  head  of  affairs  in  England,  and  his  enemies 
had  been  signally  defeated.  Most  of  his  relatives  had  been  left  behind  when  he 
came  to  America.  Many  of  his  intimate  friends  here  had  already  gone  back.  He 
was  poor  in  worldly  goods.  He  had  met  with  severe  loss  in  the  failure  of  the  Com¬ 
pany  of  Husbandmen.  He  had  received  no  pay  from  the  Hampton  Church  except 
grants  of  land.  His  house,  books  and  “near  all  his  substance,”  to  the  value  of 
jC200,  had  been  burned  at  Hampton  in  1641.  His  expenses  in  furthering  the 
Hampton  plantation  were  large.  He  gave  all  his  property  in  Hampton  to  his 
grandchildren  in  1647.  He  had  only  the  amount  received  for  his  farm,  which  must 
have  been  greatly  diminished  by  his  expensive  removals,  his  support  at  Portsmouth 
and  his  fare  to  England,  unless  he  had  saved  some  portion  of  the  money  received 
for  his  Newbury  estate,  which  is  not  likely,  as  Winthrop  calls  him  poor  in  1637, 
when  he  went  to  Yarmouth.  Anywhere  from  1650  to  1656  has  been  assigned  as  the 
date  of  his  return  to  England.  |  The  earlier  date  is  apparently  due  to  the  inaccurate 
statement  of  his  faithless  wife  in  1656,  that  he  had  “transported  himself  unto  ould 
England  for  many  years  since,”  and  the  fact  that  nothing  is  known  with  certainty 
about  his  residence  here  after  1650.  We  have  only  one  means  of  determining  the 
latest  time  when  he  was  certainly  in  this  country.  If  his  grandson,  Stephen  Samborn, 
returned  to  England  with  Mr.  Bachiler,  as  has  always  been  believed,  we  can  tell  some¬ 
thing  about  the  time  of  his  departure.  In  the  Norfolk  County  Records  at  Salem,

Mass.,  among  Hampton,  N.  H,  births,  is  found  Dorethia,  the  daughter  of  Stephen 
Samborn  and  Sarah,  his  wife,  on  the  ed  of  the  first  month,  1653.  As  less  than 
three  years’  absence  is  about  as  short  a  time  as  one  would  dare  call  “many  years 
since,”  it  is  most  probable  that  Mr.  Bachiler  went  back  in  1654,  perhaps  early  in  the 
summer,  when  pleasant  weather  might  be  expected  on  the  ocean.  From  what  port 
he  sailed  and  where  he  landed  are  unknown.  We  know  only  that  a  vagrant  tradi¬ 
tion  represents  him  as  walking  in  London  with  one  of  his  sons  after  his  return,  and 
that  it  was  almost  impossible  to  determine  which  of  the  two  was  the  elder.  The 
probability  of  the  tradition  detracts  strongly  from  its  credit  as  actual  history. 
The  abandoned  woman,  left  here,  as  if  anxious  to  do  her  husband  all  the  wrong  in 
her  power,  declared,  in  1656,  that  she  had  been  credibly  informed  that  he  had  mar¬ 
ried  a  fourth  wife  in  England.  No  other  evidence  than  her  worthless  and  unsup¬ 
ported  word  exists  to  support  this  charge,  and  even  if  her  statement  be  true,  her 
information  may  have  been  utterly  untrustworthy.  It  was  mere  hearsay  at  best. 
No  marriage  license  has  yet  been  discovered.  In  October,  1S56,  Mary  Bachiler 
petitioned  the  General  Court  at  Boston  for  leave  to  marry,  notwithstanding  her 
marriage  to  Mr.  Bachiler,  setting  forth  the  necessities  of  herself  and  her  two  sick 
children. \  This  petition  for  divorce  was  referred  to  the  next  County  Court  at  York 
for  examination,  to  report  to  the  next  Court  of  Assistants.**  It  is  a  sad  story  exhib¬ 
ited  by  the  court  records  concerning  Mary  Bachiler,  and  all  will  agree  that  her 
punishment  was  severe,  being  visited  even  upon  her  children.  Of  his  life  in 
England,  after  his  return,  we  know  nothing;  very  likely  he  lived  at  Hackney, 
where  he  died,  as  that  pleasant  suburb,  now  a  part  of  the  great  metropolis,  was  a 
comfortable  residence  for  retired  ministers.  The  last  entry  concerning  Mr. 
Bachiler  is  as  follows:  The  ancient  Stephen  Bachiler,  of  Hampton,  N.  H.,  died  at 
Hackney,  a  Village  &  Parish  in  Middlesex,  2  miles  from  London,  in  1660,  in  the 
looth  year  of  his  age.* 

Thus,  with  the  Commonwealth,  passed  away  his  life.  It  had  been  singularly 
stormy  and  contentious.  What  was  his  character?  He  must  have  had  rare  physical 
as  well  as  intellectual  vigor.  From  tradition  and  the  characteristics  of  his  descend¬ 
ants,  it  is  probable  that  he  was  tall  and  sinewy,  with  prominent  features,  especially 
the  nose;  a  very  dark  complexion;  black,  coarse  hair  in  early  days,  white  in  age, 
mouth  large  and  firm  ,  eyes  black  as  sloes ;  features  long  rather  than  broad ;  a  strong, 
clear  voice;  rather  slow  of  motion  and  speech;  simple  in  dress,  wearing  in  Lynn 
a  suit  of  liste  which  he  brought  from  Englan^l ;  obstinate  and  tenacious  of  his 
opinions  to  a  marked  degree ;  a  powerful  preacher,  drawing  largely  from  the 
scripture  and  impressing  his  hearers  with  the  uncommon  power  and  sanctity  of  his 
sermons;  strong  in  his  friendships  and  his  hates.  Winthrop  classed  him  among 
“honest  men”  when  he  arrived  in  1632,  and  Prince,  in  his  Annals  of  New  England, 
Appendix  to  1632,  says:  (“From  Governor  Winslow  and  Captain  Johnson,  we  learh 
that)  he  (Stephen  Bachiler)  was  an  ancient  minister  in  England:  had  been  a  man  of 
Fame  in  his  Day :  was  7 1  years  of  Age  when  he  came  over :  bro’t  a  number  of  people 
with  him;  and  soon  became  the  ist  Feeder  of  the  Flock  of  Christ  at  Lynn  (and  by 
several  Letters  I  have  seen  of  his  own  Writing  to  the  R.  Mr.  Cotton  of  Boston, 
I  find  he  was  a  Gentleman  of  Learning  and  Ingenuity,  and  wrote  a  fine  and  curious 
hand.”) 

Freeman,  in  his  History'  of  Cape  Cod,  says:f  Of  Mr.  Batchelor  much  has  been 
gratuitously  written  to  his  disparagement.  From  all  that  we  gather  from  his  con¬ 
temporaries,  we  infer  that  he  was  learned,  and,  in  the  judgement  of  Charity  a  good 
man;  but  that  his  whole  life,  extending  through  nearly  a  century  of  years,  was 
singularly  pregnant  with  incidents  of  trial.  These  were  not  chiefly  the  result  of 
ejectment  for  nonconformity.  Mr.  Batchelor’s  greatest  trials  were  quite  another 
source;  and  it  is  surprising  how  far-reaching  were  early  attempts  to  frame  excuses 
for  harassing  with  penalties  and  pursuing  with  vindictiveness  those  who  fell  under 
“suspicion.”  It  is  equally  notable  how  ready  are  some  at  the  present  day  to 
catch  the  strain  and  labor  to  justify  the  detraction  even  by  doubtful  traditional  cir¬ 
cumstances  develope,  whether  with  or  without  foundation  ex  post  facts.  Those 
interested  in  heraldry  can  see  a  description  of  his  coat-of-arms  m  Morgan’s  Sphere 
of  the  Gentry,  printed  in  1661.  It  consists  of  a  plough,  beneath  which  is  a  rising 
sun.  In  the  technical  language  of  heraldry  it  is  “Vert  a  plough  in  fesse,  and  in 
base  the  sun  rising  or.”  The  author  calls  it  the  coat  of  “Cain,  Adam’s  son,”  with-

out  apparently  meaning  more  than  that  it  denoted  a  husbandman  or  tiller  of  the  soil, 
as  Cain  was.  lie  says  it  did  appertain  to  Stephen  Bachelor,  the  first  pastor  of  the 
church  of  Ligonia,  in  New  England,  which  bearing  was  answerable  to  his  profession 
in  plowing  up  the  fallow  ground  of  their  hearts,  and  the  sun  appearing  in  that  part 
of  the  world  alluded  to  his  motto,  “Sol  Justitiae  Exoritur.”  We  may  guess  that 
he  received  this  coat-of-arms  when  he  was  called  as  pastor  of  the  Plough  Company, 
about  1629  or  1630,  probably  because  of  his  zeal  in  forwarding  the  interests  of  that 
company.  Morgan  seems  to  have  known  him  only  by  his  connections  with  the 
Plough  Colony  at  Ligonia,  now  Cape  Elizabeth,  Maine.  The  names  of  four  children 
of  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler  are  known  with  certainty.  Deborah,  born  in  1592,  child 
of  his  first  wife;  Stephen,  born  in  1594,  son  of  the  first  wife;  Ann,  born  in  1601, 
probably  of  the  first  wife;  and  Theodate,  who  died  October,  20,  1649,  at  Hampton, 
N,  H.  That  Nathaniel  Bachiler,  senior,  of  Hampton,  was  the  grandson  and  not  the 
son  of  our  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler  is  proved  beyond  question  by  Rev.  Stephen’s  deed 
to  his  four  grandchildren  in  1647,  before  cited,  in  which  Nathaniel  Bachiler  is 
called  his  grandson.  This  cannot  by  any  possibility  refer  to  Nathaniel  Bachiler, 
junior,  for  he  was  not  born  until  eleven  years  after  the  deed  was  made,  and  yet  the 
statement  that  Nathaniel  Bachiler,  senior,  was  a  son  of  Rev.  Stephen  may  be  strictly 
correct.  If  the  younger  Stephen,  son  of  the  emigrant  Stephen,  entered  the  ministry 
after  leaving  Magdalen  College,  Oxford,  as  is  quite  probable,  and  died  about  1630, 
the  confusion  would  easily  arise.  To  conjecture  is  dangerous,  but  the  assumption  so 
well  e.xplains  the  confusion  that  it  is  worth  stating  in  the  hope  that  it  may  be  speedily 
disproved,  if  untrue.  If  it  should  hereafter  be  confirmed,  it  will  probably  be  found 
that  the  Stephen  Bachiler,  who  witnessed  the  will  of  Edmund  Alleyn  of  Hatfield  Pev- 
erell,  Essex,  February  19,  1615,  was  the  younger  of  that  name.  Francis  and  Stephen 
Bachiler,  of  London  in  1685,  were  brothers  of  Nathaniel,  and  therefore  grandchildren 
of  our  Rev.  Stephen.  Whoever  considers  that  Bachiler’s  life  was  wasted,  because 
neither  riches  nor  temporal  honors  were  obtained  by  him,  knows  little  of  the  manner 
in  which  reforms  are  accomplished.  One  thing  for  which  he  bitterly  contended  is 
universally* conceded,  and  people  wonder  that  it  was  ever  disputed.  The  separation 
of  church  and  state  is  recognized  as  unquestionably  right  by  all  his  opponents,  and 
his  firm  stand  in  behalf  of  the  liberty  of  New  Hampshire  loses  nothing  because  it 
was  unsuccessful.  Success  would  have  left  in  doubt  his  firmness  in  standing  out 
when  the  consequences  were  certain  to  be  his  practical  destruction  and  utter  ruin. 
We  know  now  that  he  had  that  firmness  which  rendered  him  utterly  regardless 
of  consequences  to  himself  when  conscious  that  his  motives  and  judgment  were 
right.

SHATTUCK  SCHOOL,  FARIBAULT,  MINN.— There  have  been  in  the 
school  at  different  times  four  boys  by  the  name  of  Batchelder.  The  first  was 
Frances  Young  Batchelor,  from  St.  Paul,  whose  guardian  was  Joseph  Leighton.  I 
think  he  was  an  orphan.  He  was  here  in  ’79-80;  did  not  graduate.  The  second 
was  Fred  Everts  Batchelder,  son  of  George  F.  Batchelder,  who  was  at  84.  Lake 
street,  Chicago,  at  the  time  his  son  was  here,  from  ’80  to  ’82;  I  think  he  afterwards 
went  to  Denver,  but  I  know  nothing  of  the  son  after  he  left  school.  He  did  not 
graduate.  The  third  was  Charles  S.  Batchelder,  who  is  now  a  lawyer  in  this  city. 
The  last  was  John  D.  Batchelder,  who  graduated  here  in  ’90.  from  University  of 
Vermont  in  ’94,  and  is  now  studying  in  Berlin.  He  has  also  been  admitted  to  the 
Bar.  He  and  Charles  S.  Batchelder  are  brothers,  sons  of  Mr.  George  W.  Batchel¬ 
der,  of  this  city.

DESCENDANTS  OF  REV.  STEPHEN  BACHILER. 

I.  REV.  STEPHEN  BACHILER,  b.  in  England  in  1561;  m. - ; 

shed,  in  England;  m.  2d,  in  England,  Helen - ,  b.  1583,  d.  1642;  m.  3d,  about 

1648,  Mary - . 

Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler  was  born  in  1561,  matriculated  at  St.  John’s  College, 
Oxford,  in  1581,  and  in  1586,  at  the  age  of  twenty-six,  was  presented  by  Lord  de  la 
Warr  to  the  living  of  Wherwell  (“Horrell”),  a  pretty  village  in  Hampshire,  on  the 
river  Test.  The  Oxford  registers  do  not  giye  Mr.  Bachiler’s  home,  but  there  was 
at  Kingsclere,  Burghclere  and  Highclere  (a  few  miles  from  Wherwell),  a  large  family 
of  Bachilers;  and  at  Upper  Clatford  in  1571  there  died  a  Richard  Bachiler  whose 
will  mentions  several  family  names  early  found  in  Hampton,  N.  H.  While  Stephen 
Bachiler  was  at  Wherwell,  there  was  living  at  Andover  and  Weyhill,  a  few  miles 
aw^.  Rev.  James  Samborne,  whose  son,*  Rev.  James  Samborne,  Jr.,  was  rector 
of  Grately  (near  by)  in  1604,  and  of  Upper  Clatford  from  1610  to  1628.  Anne  Sam¬ 
borne,  a  cousin  of  Rev.  James  Samborne,  Sr.,  married  Rev.  Anthony  Gattonby, 
rector  from  1572  to  1605  of  Goodworth  Clatford,  the  next  parish  to  Wherwell. 
These  Sambornes  were  of  a  Berkshire  family  which  derived  its  Hampshire  con¬ 
nection  from  a  marriage  with  the  Brocas  family  of  Beaurepaire  (a  few  miles  east  of 
Wherwell)  and  the  Rogers  family  of  Freefolk  (the  next  parish  east  of  Wherwell). 
This  Rogers  connection  made  the  Sambornes  heirs  to  the  estates  of  the  Lisles  of 
Thruxton,  a  parish  near  Andover,  and  thus  associated  the  Samborne  family  with 
Hampshire.  In  1605  Mr.  Bachiler  was  “deprived”  of  his  benefice,  presumably  for 
Calvinistic  opinions,  and  by  order  of  the  commission  appointed  by  James  I.  to  in¬ 
vestigate  religious  opinions.  One  member  of  this  commission  was  Lord  de  la 
Warr,  a  son  of  the  nobleman  who  had  presented  Mr.  Bachiler  to  the  living  of 
Wherwell.  Mr.  Bachiler  is  said  to  have  taken  refuge  in  Holland,  as  the  Plymouth 
Pilgrims  did  in  1608,  but  no  record  of  his  life  there  is  found.  His  son-in-law.  Rev. 
John  Wing,  was  the  first  pastor  of  an  English  church  at  Middleburgh  in  Holland, 
from  1620  onward;  and  it  is  curious  to  note  that  a  Mr.  Samuel  Bachiler.  minister  in 
Sir  Charles  Morgan’s!  fighting  regiment  in  Holland,  was  the  same  year  called  to  a 
pastorate  in  Flushing,  but  declined.  May  it  not  be  that  this  was  a  son  of  Rev. 
Stephen  Bachiler?  Samuel  Bachiler  was  the  author  of  a  book  called  “Miles  Chris- 
tianus”!  (perhaps  the  same  volume  which  Mr.  Bachiler  sent  to  Margaret  Tyndall, 
Governor  Winthrop’s  wife,  in  October,  1630,  from  Hampton). 

In  this  letter  Mr.  Bachiler  mistakes  Mrs.  Winthrop’s  Christian  name,  calling 
her  “Alice”  instead  of  Margaret;  but  that  was  pardonable,  for  John  Winthrop  had 
three  wives  before  he  was  thirty-four  years  old,  and  a  patriarch  of  seventy-eight, 
like  Bachiler,  could  hardly  be  expected  to  recall  them  all.  But  he  had  dined  with 
this  Mrs.  Margaret  Winthrop,  at  Groton,  Eng.,  June  ii,  1621,  and  no  doubt  on

tit  seem.s  worth  noting  that  another  Morgan,  Sylvanus'  by  name,  in  his  “Sphere  of 
Gentry,”  gives  a  coat  of  arms  (which  I  cannot  verify)  for  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler. — Vert,  a  plow

the  honourable  Gentleman  Mr.  Ashley  his  worthy  freind,  the  Authour  wisheth  all  happiness.” 
The  above  is  the  title-page  of  Bachiler's  book;  it  is  a  thin,  small,  quarto  bound  in  vellum,— 55 
pages  in  aT,— a  sermon,  rather  dull  apparently.  There  is  a  three-page  preface  addres.sed  “To 
all  my  deare  and  loving  Countrimen  in  service  to  the  States  of  the  United  Provinces,  the  hon¬ 
ourable  officers,  and  all  honest  souldiers  of  the  English  nation  residing  in  the  Netherlands,  and 
specially  (as  service  bindeth  me)  to  those  of  Gorcum  in  Holland,  S  B.  wisheth  all  happie  .suc¬

dam.  I  did  not  go  there,  nor  is  it  now  so  important  as  in  the  time  of  the  Spanish  wars,  when  it 
was  one  of  the  keys  to  the  province  of  Holland.  There  is  no  other  work  by  Samuel  Bachiler  on 
the  catalogue  of  the  British  Museum.

other  occasions,  and  could  properly  address  her  as  “Auncient  &  Christian  Frende.” 
He  went  on  to  say : 

"I  present  my  great  respect  and  thankfulness  unto  you  in  a  little  token.  And 
though  it  be  little  in  itself,  yet  doth  it  contain  greater  weight  of  true  worth  than  can 
easily  be  comprehended  but  of  the  spiritual  man  .  .  .  Looking  among  some 

special  reserved  books,  and  lighting  on  this  little  treatise*  of-  one  of  mine  own  poor 
children,  I  conceived  nothing  might  suit  more  to  my  love,  nor  your  acceptance.  As 
God  gives  you  leisure  to  read  anything  that  may  further  your  piety,  and  hope  of  a 
better  life  than  this,  if  you  shall  please  to  vouchsafe  a  little  part  of  that  time  to 
read  this  by  degrees,  I  shall  judge  it  more  than  a  sufficient  satisfaction  to  my 
love  and  desire  of  furthering  you  in  the  way  of  grace.” 

I  suppose  this  “Christian  Soldier”  of  Samuel  Bachiler  to  have  been  a  sermon 
on  the  religious  life,  suggested  by  his  experience  with  the  English  volunteers  in 
Holland,  and  perhaps  preached  there,  and  even  printed,  as  many  Puritan  works 
were,  outside  of  England,  in  order  to  escape  the  prohibition  of  the  archbishop’s 
licenser,  for  Laud,  from  1635  onward,  was  very  strict  to  keep  back  Calvinistic 
hooks  from  circulation  in  England.  If  Stephen  Bachiler  brought  many  copies  of  it 
to  New  Hampshire,  as  he  may  well  have  done,  they  were  probably  burned,  with 
his  library,  a  few  years  later;  since  he  mentions,  in  a  letter  to  Winthrop  in  1644,  he 
has  "had  great  loss  by  fire,  well  known,  to  the  value  of  ;^200,  with  my  whole  study 
■of  books”  in  Hampton.  In  the  same  letter,  written  when  he  was  proposing  to  settle 
in  Exeter,  he  tells  Winthrop  that  “I  procured  the  plantation  for  them  [at  Hampton] 
and  have  been  at  great  charges  in  many  ways  since,  for  the  upholding  and  further¬ 
ing  of  the  same;  yet  I  never  had  any  maintenance  from  them  hitherto.” 

Assuming  that  Stephen  Bachiler  was  in  Holland  for  a  time,  it  seems  probable 
this  was  between  1607  and  1620,  although  no  record  has  yet  been  found  concerning 
him  in  the  church,  town,  or  military  registers  of  Middleburgh  or  Flushing,  where 
Iris  kindred  were.  But  when  in  London  (June  23,  1631),  and  while  he  was  making 
preparation  to  come  to  New  England,  permission  was  granted  to  him  and  his  wife 
Helen,  with  his  daughter,  “Ann  Sandburn,  widow” — the  latter  described  as  living 
in  the  Strand,  London — to  go  to  Flushing  for  two  months  to  visit  his  sons  and 
■daughters  there.  Flushing  is  in  Zealand  near  Middleburgh,  and  was  garrisoned  by 
English  soldiers  for  more  than  half  a  century,  beginning  in  1572.  It  was  easy  of 
access  from  England,  even  in  time  of  war;  and  war  was  going  on  in  Holland  dur¬ 
ing  all  the  early  years  of  the  seventeenth  century.  Probably  Mr.  Bachiler’s  children 
and  grandchildren  were  on  the  island  of  Walcheren,  which  contains  both  Flushing 
.and  Middleburgh. 

Soon  after  leaving  Wherwell,  Mr.  Bachiler  settled  in  Newton  Stacy,  the  nearest 
hamlet  on  the  east.  There  he  bought  and  sold  land  from  1622  to  1631,  as  Mr. 
Waters  and  I  found  in  the  “Feet  of  Fines”  for  Hampshire,  which  contain  the  fol¬ 
lowing:  J 

“Paschal  Term,  1622:  Stephen  Bachiler,  clerk,  bought  of  George  Hunter  and 
Dorothy  his  wife,  and  Edward  Abbott,  one  garden,  one  orchard,  44  acres  of  land, 
■one  acre  pasture — all  in  Newton  Stacy,  Hants.” 

“Paschal  Term,  1629:  Stephen  Bachiler,  clerk,  bought  of  H.  Holloway  one  cot¬ 
tage,  two  gardens,  two  orchards,  40  acres  of  land — all  in  Newton  Stacy,  Hants.” 

These  purchases  gave  a  considerable  property,  .all  of  which  was  turned  into 
money  by  Mr.  Bachiler  before  sailing  for  Boston  111  the  William  and  Francis,  March 
9,  1632— as  these  entries  show: 

“Michaelmas  Term,  1630:  W.  Houghton,  Thomas  Roberts  et  al.  bought  of 
Stephen  Bachiler,  clerk,  and  Helen  his  wife,  two  gardens,  two  orchards,  80  acres  of 
•land — two  acres  pasture — all  in  Newton  Stacy,  Hants.  ”J 

*In  1626  Samuel  Bachiler  published  another  treatise  on  religious  questions,  mixed  with 
politics,  entitled  “The  Dangers  Hanging  over  the  Head  of  England  and  France,”  but  it  is  not

“Trinity  Term,  1631:  Thomas  Mann  bought  of  Stephen  Bachiler  clerk,  and 
Helen  his  wife,  certain  land  in  Newton  Stacey.” 

About  1629  a  colonizing  society  (the  “Plow  Company”)  was  organized  in  Eng¬ 
land,  to  settle  the  so-called  “Plow  Patent”  in  Maine  (Casco);  and  Mr.  Bachiler, 
then  sixty-eight  years  old,  was  its  pastor.  His  son-in-law,  Christopher  Hussey,  of 
Dorking  (but  perhaps  the  kinsman  of  Christopher  Hussey,  mayor  of  Winchester  in 
1609,  1O18  and  1631),  emigrated  to  New  England  in  the  summer  of  1630,  and  settled 
at  Lynn,  where  Mr.  Bachiler  joined  the  family  two  years  later.  The  Plow  Com¬ 
pany  failed,  “by  the  false  dealing  of  those  entrusted  by  us  with  the  Plough’s  ship 
and  our  goods  therein;”  and  Mr.  Bachiler  formed  a  small  church  in  Lynn — baptiz¬ 
ing  first  his  grandson,  Stephen  Hussey,  born  in  1630.  He  had  come  over  in  the 
William  and  Francis,  with  his  other  grandchildren,  John,  William  and  Stephen 
Samborne,  landing  at  Boston  June  5,  1632,  when  neither  his  wife  nor  the  widow 
Samborne  seems  to  have  come.  He  d.  Hackney,  England,  in  1660;  res.  Lynn,  Mass.,

Christopher  Hussey,  deacon  and  captain,  son  of  John,  was  bom 
in  Dorking,  England,  1595-6.  Of  his  early  education  and  employ¬ 
ment  little  is  known,  nor  do  we  know  where  his  father  died.  With 
many  of  his  countrymen  he  was  driven  by  religious  persecution  to 
Holland,  and  it  was  thought  he  was  one  of  the  parishioners  of  Rev. 
Stephen  Bachiler.  It  is  stated  in  several  works  that  Mr.  Hussey 
was  engaged  to  be  married  to  Mr.  Bachiler’s  daughter,  but  that 
clergyman  objected  until  his  prospective  son-in-law  deciaed  to 
emigrate  with  him  to  America.  It  was  only  upon  this  condition 
that  he  would  consent  to  the  marriage.  It  is  said  they  w'ere  mar¬ 
ried  in  England,  probably  before  their  sojourn  to  Holland.  Hus¬ 
sey,  with  his  wife  and  widowed  mother,  arrived  at  Charlestown, 
Mass.,  July  23,  1630,  in  the  William  and  Francis,  which  sailed 
from  Southampton  some  time  in  May.  Two  years  later  they  re¬ 
moved  to  their  home  in  Saugus  (Lynn),  Mrs.  Hussey’s  father 
and  some  others  of  the  family  with  their  friends  and  acquaint¬ 
ances  from  England  joining  them.  Mr.  Bachiler  established  his 
church  immediately  in  Lynn.  On  his  first  Sabbath  he  baptized 
four  children.  On  being  asked  to  baptize  one  of  the  children  he 
refused,  saying  he  would  baptize  his  own  grandchild  first,  Stephen 
Hussey,  the  second  white  child  born  in  Lynn.  Christopher  sub¬ 
sequently  removed,  with  his  mother,  to  Hampton,  N.  H.,  and  was 
one  of  the  grantees  of  the  town.  He  was  the  first  deacon  of  the 
church  there  established,  and  a  prominent  and  influential  man. 
His  farm  was  on  the  falls  side  of  the  town,  to  which  place  he  re¬ 
moved  a  few  years  after  settlement.

and  when  New  Hampshire  was  made  a  royal  province  he  was  one

was  Thomas  Whit¬ 
tier,  who  came  to  this  coun¬ 
try  in  1638  from  Southamp¬ 
ton,  Eng.  He  was  born  in 
1620,  married  Ruth  Green 
and  settled  in  Salisbury, 
Mass.  After  a  sh  mt  resi¬ 
dence  there  he  moved  to 
Newbury  and  in  1666  was 
admitted  a  freeman  at 
Haverhill  and  died  there 
in  1696,  his  wife  dying  in 
1710.  They  had  ten  chil¬

the  ancestor  of  the  most 
numerous  branch.  Jos¬

Joseph,  married  Mary 
Peasley,  of  Haverhill,  and 
had  nine  children,  among 
them  was  Joseph,  Jr.,  who 
married  Sarah  Greenleaf, 
of  Newbury,  and  had 
eleven  children.  Their 
tenth  child  was  John,  who 
married  Abigail  Hussey.

He  died  in  Haverhill  in  1830,  leaving  four  children,  one  of  whom 
was  John  Greenleaf  Whittier,  sometimes  called  ‘‘The  Hermit

was  married  in  Holland.  In  1639,  in  company  with  his  father-in-

law,  he  settled  in  Hampton,  N.  H.,  on  a  grant  of  300  acres  of  land. 
They  later  became  Quakers  and  a  descendant,  John  Hussey,  of 
Hampton,  was  a  preacher  to  the  Quakers  at  Wilmington,  Del. 
The  mother  of  the  poet  was  a  devoted  disciple  of  the  Society  of 
Friends.  She  was  a  person  of  deep  and  tender  religious  nature 
and  this  is  evident  to  one  looking  at  her  oil  painting.  The  poet 
once  said  the  reason  why  his  mother  moved  to  Amesbury  was 
that  she  might  be  near  the  little  Friends  meeting  in  that  place. 
John  Greenleaf  Whittier  was  born  at  Haverhill,  Mass.,  Dec.  17, 
1807.  Until  the  age  of  eighteen  he  worked  on  a  farm  and  occa¬ 
sionally  as  a  shoemaker.  In  1825  he  entered  a  school  of  the  Society 
of  Friends,  of  which  he  was  a  member,  and  in  1829  went  to  Bos¬ 
ton  as  editor  of  a  newspaper,  the  American  Manufacturer,  and  in 
the  following  year  became  editor  of  the  New  England  Weekly 
Review  published  at  Hartford,  Conn.,  but  in  1832  returned  to 
Haverhill  to  edit  the  Haverhill  Gazette  and  work  upon  his  farm. 

He  remained  there  till  1 830,  being  twice  a  representative  m  the 
legislature  of  the  state.  In  1 83b  he  became  one  of  the  secretaries 
of  the  American  Anti-slavery  Society,  and  soon  after  removed  to 
Philadelphia,  where  he  edited  for  four  years  the  Pennsylvania 
Freeman,  an  anti-slavery  paper.  In  1840  he  returned  to  Massa¬ 
chusetts  and  settled  at  Amesbury,  where  he  afterward  resided,  be¬ 
ing  for  some  years  corresponding  editor  of  the  National  Era  pub¬ 
lished  at  Washington.  Mr.  Whittier’s  works  are  among  the  best 
known  and  most  popular  of  all  American  authors.  They  include 
publications  in  prose  and  verse,  and  have  obtained  an  unpre¬ 
cedented  circulation,  both  in  the  United  States  and  in  all  portions

of  Europe.  Besides  these  various  fine  illustrated  editions  of  some 
of  his  shorter  poems  have  been  published  separately.  In  1869  and 
again  in  1876  was  published  a  uniform  edition  of  his  poems  up  to 
date,  and  in  1875  he  published  a  collection  of  poetry  under  the 
title  of  “Songs  of  Three  Centuriek”  He  died  Sept.  7,  1892.* 

This  historic  old  dwelling  in  which  the  famous  bard  of  the 
Merrimac  Valley  was  bom,  was  erected  by  his  great-great-grand¬ 
father  Thomas  Whittier,  the  first  of  his  name  in  America,  about  200 
years  ago.  It  is  in  the  east  parish  of  Haverhill,  a  lonely  farm 

♦John  G.  Whittier  writes,  24  8  mo.,  187.3:  “My  mother  was  a  descendant  of  Christopher 
Hussey,  of  Hampton,  N.  H.,  who  married  a  daughter  of  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler,  the  first  min¬ 
ster  of  that  town.  Daniel  Webster  traces  his  ancestry  to  the  same  pair,  so  Joshua  Coffin  in-

house  in  one  of  the  most  rugged  and  hilly  sections  of  Essex 
county.  Haverhill,  now  a  city  of  about  30,000  inhabitiants,  is 
three  miles  away.  Two  centuries  ago,  as  now,  Essex  county  was 
more  thickly  populated  than  any  other  on  this  side  the  Atlantic 
that  included  no  big  city,  yet  the  Whittier  homestead,  in  the 
northeast  corner,  is  in  so  isolated  a  spot  that  from  the  date  of  its 
erection  to  the  present  time  no  neighbor’s  roof  has  been  in  sight. 
It  is  in  a  sunken  pocket  of  the  inland  hills.  In  the  early  days,  it 
is  said,  Indians  in  their  war  paint  occasionally  passed  up  the  val¬ 
ley,  and  the  evening  fire  light  in  the  Whittier  kitchen  would  fre¬ 
quently  reveal  a  savage  face  at  the  window.  But  this  Quaker 
household  was  never  harmed. 

DESCRIBED  IN  “SNOW-BOUND.  ” 

The  birthplace,  its  environs  and  the  life  of  the  family  within 
have  been  well  described  by  the  poet  in  “Snow-Bound.”  In 
winter  there  was  nothing  to  see  in  the  prospect  but  a  “universe  of 
sky  and  snow.” 

Shut  in  from  all  the  world  without. 

We  sat  the  clean-winged  hearth  about. 

Cor  tent  to  let  the  north  wind  roar, 

In  baffled  rage  at  pane  and  door, 

While  the  red  logs  before  us  beat 
The  frost  line  back  with  tropic  heat. 

The  house  has  been  minutely  described  in  the  accounts  of  Whit¬ 
tier’s  boyhood  and  youth.  On  one  side  of  the  great  kitchen  is  a 
cupboard,  at  which  the  tramp  mentioned  by  the  poet  in  his  “Yan¬ 
kee  Gypsies,”  prospecting  for  brandy,  filled  his  mouth  with  whale 
oil,  and  spluttered  inarticulate  imprecations.  There  is  a  straight 
and  steep  flight  of  back  stairs  leading  up  from  the  western  porch. 
It  was  down  these  stairs  that  in  his  tenderest  infancy  the  poet, 
wrapped  in  a  blanket,  was  once  rolled,  as  an  experiment,  by  a 
little  girl  who  had  him  in  charge. 

STONE  WALL  HE  HELPED  TO  BUILD. 

When  Whittier  last  visited  the  homestead,  in  1882,  he  pointed 
out  a  stone  wall  he  helped  to  build,  which  is  now  standing  between 
the  brook  and  the  gate.  It  is  the  garden  wall  referred  to  in  “The 
Barefoot  Boy.”  Quaker  meetings  were  sometimes  held  in  the 
large  kitchen. 

It  was  in  1840  that  Whittier  reluctantly  disposed  of  the  old 
homestead,  in  which  he  had  resided  much  of  the  time  for  nearly 
thirty  years,  and  removed  to  Amesbury,  that  lovely  little  hamlet 
at  the  foot  ot  Powow  Hill,  in  full  sight  of  the  much  loved  Merri- 
mac.  In  later  years  he  made  his  home  at  Danvers. 

Abigail  Hussey,  John  Greenleaf  Whittier's  mother,  was  a  de¬ 
scendant  of  Christojiher  Hussey,  a  fellow  town.sman  with  Thomas 
Whittier  in  Haverhill,  who  afterward  removed  to  Hampton,  N. 
H.,  where  he  married  the  daughter  of  Rev.  Stephen  Bachilei. 
“The  tradition  is  that  Mr.  Baoiiiler  was  a  man  of  remarkable  per¬ 
sonal  presence,  and  was  particularly  noticeable  on  account  of  his 
wonderful  eyes;  they  were  dark  and  deep  set,  under  broad  arches, 
and  could  throw  lightning  glances  upon  occasion.  For  more  than 
a  century  the  Batcheler  eye  has  been  proverbial  and  in  Essex 
county,  Massachusetts,  the  striking  feature  has  been  steadily  main¬ 
tained.  Ttie  resemblance  between  Whittier  and  Daniel  Webster  were 
long  ago  observed  by  those  who  were  unaware  of  any  relationship. 
Though  unlike  in  many  respects,  there  appeared  to  be  a  marked 
similarity  in  their  broad  and  massive  brows,  swarthy  complexions 
and  expressive  eyes.  The  characteristic  of  the  eyes  were  in  the 
looks  of  inscrutable  depth,  the  power  of  shooting  out  sudden 
gleams,  and  the  power  of  tender  and  lovable  expression  as  well. 
It  is  now  known  that  not  only  Whittier,  Webster,  but  W.  Pitt 
Fessenden,  Caleb  Cushing,  William  B.  Green  and  other  promi-

nent  men  inherited  their  fine  features,  penetrating  eyes  and 
gravity  of  manner  from  the  same  ancestor,  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler. 
The  majestic  bearing  and  the  presence  of  Webster  were  every¬ 
where  known.  The  keen  glances  of  Cushing,  the  eminent 
scholar  and  diplomat;  the  deep  looks  of  Col.  Green  were  well 
remembered  in  Massachusetts.  Green  was  educated  at  West 
Point,  but  he  resigned  from  the  army  and  married  a  famous  beauty 
and  heiress,  daughter  of  Robert  D.  .Shaw,  of  Boston,  and  was  for 
some  years  a  U nitarian  preacher.  In  the  war  of  the  Rebellion,  he 
commanded  the  14th  Massachusetts  regiment  of  heavy  artillery. 
He  was  an  able  writer  and  an  original  thinker.”  [Life  of  John  G.

The  first  emigrants  to  America  bearing  the  name  of  Wing,  like 
nearly  all  the  New  England  colonists  of  that  period,  belonged  to 
that  portion  of  the  English  nation  which  began  near  the  close  of 
the  sixteenth  century,  to  be  called  Puritans,  because  they  con¬ 
tended  that  all  civil  and  ecclesiastical  affairs,  as  well  as  religious 
doctrines,  should  be  strictly  conformed  to  Scriptural  models,  and 
to  the  principles  of  modern  liberty. 

They  should,  however,  be  distinguished  from  that  portion  of 
the  same  party  that  had  settled  at  Plymouth,  and  which  has  usu¬ 
ally  borne  the  more  specific  appellation  of  "The  Pilgrims,”  be¬ 
cause  thej'  had  for  conscience  sake  forsaken  their  native  land, 
had  sojourned  for  several  j^ears  in  the  low  countries,  and  had 
finally  found  a  home  on  the  shore  of  Massachusetts  bay,  thirty- 
seven  miles  south  of  the  present  city  of  Boston. 

The  two  colonies  of  Plymouth  and  Massachusetts  bay  were  for 
many  years  distinct  jurisdictions.  The  former  commenced  their 
settlement  (1620 — eight  years  before  the  latter — 1628),  and  for  the 
first  ten  years  were,  for  some  reason,  unable  to  obtain  a  royal 
charter,  being  organized  under  the  authority  of  a  commercial  as¬ 
sociation,  which,  however,  seemed  to  have  very  little  zeal  for  its 
worldly  prosperity.  The  emigrants  also,  though  composed  of 
some  of  the  most  enlightened  and  energetic  men  of  the  age,  were 
less  anxious  to  increase  their  numbers  or  their  wealth  than  to  pro¬ 
vide  for  their  spiritual  harmony  and  edification.  They  had  also 
been  much  impoverished  by  the  necessities  of  a  foreign  pilgrim¬ 
age,  by  repeatedly  baffled  and  expensive  attempts  to  embark  for 
America  by  the  severities  of  a  long  voyage  on  the  ocean,  and  by 
the  hardships,  famines,  drouths  and  sickness  of  their  first  settle¬ 
ment  in  the  wilderness. 

Only  three  sparsely  settled  towns,  viz..  Plymouth,  Duxbury  and 
Scituate,  were  organized  during  the  first  sixteen  years.  The 
colony  of  Massachusetts  bay,  on  the  other  hand,  though  estab¬ 
lished  likewise  with  prominent  aim  to  construct  a  congenial  re¬ 
ligious  community,  was  influenced  in  a  much  higher  degree  by  the 
lower  motives  which  ordinarily  lead  to  new  settlements.  It  was 
from  the  beginning  favored  with  a  charter  of  singular  liberality, 
and  tiad  not  only  the  direction  and  aid  of  an  enterprising  associa¬ 
tion  in  England,  but  a  very  large  amount  of  popular  favor.  In 
the  course  of  three  or  four  years  after  the  settlement  at  Naumkeag 
(now  Salem)  more  than  1,500  persons,  in  17  ships,  were  added  to 
tne  original  300,  and  several  towns  were  organized  under  the 
names  of  Boston  (before  called  Shawmut),  Charlestown,  Water- 
town,  Dorchester,  Roxbury,  Mystic  and  Saugus. 

In  each  of  these  a  church  was  established  as  soon  as  a  sufficient 
number  of  persons  could  be  collected  for  the  purpose  on  the  same 
model  with  the  churches  of  Salem  and  Plymouth,  and  generally 
with  a  full  complement  of  pastor,  elders  and  other  officers 

John  Winthrop,  the  first  governor  of  the  colony  of  Massachusetts 
bay,  kept  a  Journal,  in  which  he  gives  an  account  of  all  public 
transactions  down  to  the  year  1649,  when  enumerating  the 
vessels  which  conveyed  immigrants,  he  makes  the  record  under

the  date  of  June  5,  1632;  “Arrived,  the  William  Francis,  Mr. 
Thomas,  Master;  which  left  London  on  the  gth  of  March,  and 
reached  this  port  after  a  voyage  of  88  days  with  about  60  passen¬ 
gers,  whereof  were  Mr.  Weld  and  old  Mr.  Batchelder  (being  aged 
71),  with  their  families  and  many  other  honest  men.”  In  another 
place  the  governor  specifies  that  the  company  which  came  with 
Mr.  Batchelder  consisted  of  a  small  body  of  six  or  seven  persons, 
who  went  to  the  same  place  and  co-operated  with  him  in  his  re¬ 
ligious  movements.  The  names  of  these  persons  are  not  given, 
but  from  incidental  notices  we  learn  that  among  them  were  John 
Wing  and  his  wife  Deborah,  a  daughter  of  Mr.  Batchelder,  with 
three  adult  sons,  and  Edward  Dillingham.  There  is  no  decisive 
indication  in  this  or  in  any  other  known  record  of  the  precise  place 
in  England  from  which  the  company  emigrated.  From  some 
expressions  in  the  will  of  Edward  Dillingham,  showing  that  he 
was  in  intimate  relations  with  several  persons  in  Bitteswell, 
Leicestershire,  it  seems  probable  that  these  were  his  former  neigh¬ 
bors,  from  whom  the  whole  company  could  not  have  been  distant. 
Those  who  composed  this  company  had  evidently  sympathized 
with  each  other  in  some  peculiar  religious  views,  as  well  as  been 
united  by  various  marriage  and  blood  relations.  The  Rev.  Ben¬ 
jamin  Fessenden,  of  Sandwich,  intimates  that  they  had  been 
“very  much  tainted  with  Antinoman  and  Familistical  errors,” 
but  how  much  this  signifies,  when  interpreted  with  a  due  regard 
to  the  prejudices  of  the  religious  party  then  in  the  ascendant,  it  is 
not  easy  to  decide. 

Nothing  of  the  kind  was  ever  objected  against  Mr.  Batchelder 
by  the  civil  or  ecclesiastical  authorities,  before  whom  he  was  more 
than  once,  for  other  reasons,  arraigned;  and  as  held  by  the  more 
recent  advocates  of  these  views,  the  sentiments  and  practices 
alluded  to  could  not  have  been  very  obnoxious  to  the  Puritan 
divines  in  Massachusetts.  The  town  of  Saugus  had  been  organ¬ 
ized  only  three  years  before  their  arrival,  and  no  church  had  been 
collected  and  no  minister  had  been  settled  there.  A  few  meetings 
had  been  held  from  prayer  and  exhortation,  and  some  of  the  in¬ 
habitants  had  attended  worship  at  Salem.  The  time  of  their 
arrival  was  eleven  years  and  seven  months  after  the  landing  at 
Plymouth  Rock  (Dec.  ii,  1620,  O.  S.).  and  three  years  and  eight 
months  after  the  arrival  of  the  first  settlers  at  Salem. 

John  Wing  was  the  original  progenitor  of  nearly  all  who  bear  the 
name  in  America,  so  far  as  they  are  known  to  us.  Nothing  is 
known  of  him  before  his  arrival  at  Boston  and  his  residence  at 
Saugus  (Lynn),  except  that  he  had  married  Deborah,  the  second 
daughter  of  Stephen  Batchelder,  and  was  one  of  that  minister’s 
company.  Some  have  inferred  that  he  had  been  with  his  father- 
in-law  during  his  sojourn  in  Holland,  and  that  he  had  some  near 
connection  with  the  Rev.  John  Wing,  the  pastor  of  an  English 
congregation  in  Flushing,  in  the  Province  of  Zealand,  in  Holland. 
He  does  not  appear  to  have  been,  any  more  than  his  associates, 
possessed  of  pecuniary  means  beyond  what  were  requisite  for  his 
voyage,  and  when  a  removal  from  Saugus  became  desirable,  his 
aim  was  to  find  a  suitable  home  on  the  cheaper  lands  beyond  the 
limits  of  the  older  settlements.  He  was  probably  one  of  the 
number  who  performed  the  journey  with  Mr.  Batchelder  for  the 
settlement  of  the  Matlacheese,  and  though  that  enterprise  failed, 
he  perhaps  then  became  acquainted  with  the  region  afterwards 
known  as  the  Peninsula  of  Cape  Cod.  The  land  there  was  per¬ 
haps  no  more  inviting  (or  agricultural  purposes  than  that  which 
then  generally  engrossed  attention  within  the  jurisdiction  of  the 
Massachusetts  Bay  colony,  but  it  had  some  adv'antages  for  fishing 
purposes ;  it  was  not  encumbered  by  heavy  forests ;  it  was  easy 
of  cultivation ;  it  might  be  had  by  all  acceptable  occupants,  and 
the  Iinlians  in  possession  of  it  were  remarkable  for  their  uniform 
friendship  for  the  English.  It  was  within  the  jurisdiction  of  the 
Plymouth  Colony,  though  beyond  the  limits  of  any  organized

town.  About  ten  years  before  (1627)  a  trading  house  had  been 
located  at  a  place  called  Manomet,  at  the  head  of  Buzzard’s  Bay, 
with  the  view  of  maintaining  commerce  with  the  southern  coast 
and  of  avoiding  the  dangerous  navigation  around  the  Cape,  but 

for  some  reason  the  en¬ 
terprise  had  been  aban¬ 
doned,  or  was  confined 
to  the  business  of  mere 
transportation. 

In  the  year  1637  Mr. 
Edward  Freeman  and 
nine  others,  who  had 
been  residents  at 
Saugus,  formed  an  as¬ 
sociation  "to  erect  a 
plantation  or  town  with¬ 
in  the  precincts  of  his 
Majesty’s  General  Court 
at  Plymouth’’ and  near 
the  neck  of  land  be¬ 
tween  the  opposite 
shores  of  Barnstable 
and  Buzzard’s  Bays. 
On  the  third  day  of 
April,  in  the  same  year, 
the  general  court  at 
Plymouth  gave  to  these 
persons  the  right  to 
form  said  plantation  or 
town,  "and  to  receive  in 
more  inhabitants  to 
them  according  to  order 
and  duly  to  dispose  of 
said  lands  to  such  as 
were  or  should  be  or¬ 
derly  admitted  to  them 
in  said  township.’’ 
They  were  soon  on  the 
ground,  and  with  them 
about  fifty  others  who  were  called  associates,  chiefly  from  Saugus, 
Duxbury  and  Plymouth.  The  names  of  Edward  Freeman  and 
Edward  Dillingham  appear  among  the  original  "Ten  men  of 
Saugus,’’  and  the  name  of  John  Wing  occurs  as  the  forty- fifth  in 
the  list  of  their  first  associates. 

Nearly  all  those  mentioned  took  families  with  them,  and  by  the 
terms  of  the  act  granting  them  permission  to  settle  none  were 
allowed  to  become  housekeepers  or  to  build  any  cottage  or  dwell¬ 
ing  to  reside  singly  or  alone,  or  if  their  characters  were  not  accept¬ 
able  to  the  governor.  Church  membership,  communion  at  the 
Lord’s  table  and  a  regular  attendance  upon  and  a  proper  support 
of  public  worship  at  authorized  places  were  indispensable  re¬ 
quisites  to  becoming  a  freeman. 

The  whole  body  of  freemen  in  the  town  had  the  right  to  decide 
by  vote  whether  any  one  should  be  admitted  a  member  of  their 
community,  subject,  however,  to  the  revision  of  the  governor  and 
his  assistants.  A  sufficient  quantity  of  land  was  granted  to  the 
original  association  to  provide  liberally  for  three  score  families, 
according  to  the  number  and  ability  of  each  householder’s  family. 
Under  the  direction  of  committees  appointed  by  the  court,  the  true 
bounds  of  every  inhabitant’s  land  were  laid  out  and  ordered. 

In  1651,  when  the  conditions  on  which  the  grant  of  the  township 
was  made  had  been  complied  with,  a  deed  of  the  plantation  was 
executed  by  the  governor  to  Mr.  Freeman,  who  then  made  con¬ 
veyances  to  his  associates.  The  town  was  incorporated  as  early 


BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY.

as  1639,  and  the  Indian  name  of  Shawme  was  exchanged  for  that 
of  Sandwich. 

In  addition  to  these  private  “holdings”  certain  meadows  or 
marshy  lands  on  the  shore  near  the  town  were  left  for  the  grazing 
of  cattle,  as  town’s  commons,  and  controlled  by  the  town  as  such. 
In  time  these  became  the  property  of  the  representatives  of  the 
original  freeman. 

Other  woodlands  were  at  first  free  for  every  one  to  obtain  from 
them  timber  and  fuel  for  private  use,  but  not  for  exportation.  In 
what  part  of  the  township  John  Wing  had  his  residence  it  is  now 
pernaps  impossible  to  determine.  The  old  traditional  home  of 
one  branch  of  the  family  for  subsequent  generations  was  situated 
about  a  mile  from  the  present  village  of  Sandwich,  near  a  stream 
of  water  between  two  beautiful  ponds,  and  on  a  highland  over¬ 
looking  the  lower  sheet  of  water  and  the  town. 

This  seems  as  likely  as  any  other  spot  to  have  been  selected 
as  his  residence.  No  more  attractive  location  could  be  found  in 
the  town.  Very  probably  the  limits  of  the  lower  pond  have  been 
much  increased  in  later  years  by  a  dam  thrown  across  its  outlet, 
by  which  power  has  been  gained  for  mills  and  other  manufactur¬ 
ing  establishments,  but  even  before  this  enlargement  the  scenery 
from  that  point  must  have  been  more  than  commonly  fine. 

A  number  of  farms,  as  situated  upon  the  neck  of  land  between 
the  two  ponds  (formerly  known  as  “Wolf  Trap  Neck”),  some  of 
which  have  been  in  the  possession  of  John’s  descendants  until  the 
present  time.  The  exact  spot,  however,  which  has  generally  been 
regarded  as  the  original  home,  is  an  eminence  near  the  point 
where  the  stream  from  the  upper  pond  falls  into  the  lower  and 
since  occupied  as  a  factory  for  nails. 

Near  the  present  building  is  an  artificial  cavity  about  fifteen 
feet  square  and  several  feet  deep,  which  must  once  have  been  a 
cellar,  and  is  even  now  surrounded  by  a  few  very  ancient  fruit  and 
ornamental  trees.  The  buildings  which  once  were  over  and  near 
it  are  gone,  with  every  other  relic  of  them,  and  the  mansion  which 
has  been  the  residence  of  his  descendants  is  situated  about  200 
rods  westward. 

The  farm,  which  has  usually  been  connected  with  this  home¬ 
stead,  consists  of  two  or  three  hundred  acres  of  valuable  land  up 
the  stream  and  along  the  borders  of  the  lower  pond.  Immedi¬ 
ately  before  it,  across  the  sheet  of  water,  which  lies  in  the  form 
of  a  semi-circle  about  a  mile  in  length  and  within  the  arc  of  the 
semi-circle,  is  an  ancient  cemetery,  where  the  earlier  inhabitants 
were  buried.  On  the  outer  and  right  margin  of  the  lower  end  of 
the  pond  lies  the  main  village,  consisting  principally  of  one  street, 
along  which  are  a  grist  mill,  marble  works,  the  town  hall  and 
academy,  several  churches,  a  Masonic  hall  and  two  or  three  hotels. 
This  part  of  the  town  has  remained  without  essential  alteration 
from  the  most  ancient  period  of  which  we  have  any  account. 

In  1638,  almost  immediately  on  the  settlement  of  the  town,  a 
church  was  formed,  and  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  public  worship 
was  maintained  there  from  the  very  first. 

A  rude  building  for  that  purpose  must  have  been  at  once  erected, 
for  as  early  as  in  644  the  one  which  was  used  for  worship  was 
called  “the  old  meeting  house.”  The  ministers  of  that  day  in  all 
the  towns  were  invariably  men  of  respectable  talents  and  learn¬ 
ing,  such  as  everywhere  commanded  confidence  and  respect. 
There  was  something,  however,  in  the  disposition  of  the  original 
inhabitants  of  Sandwich  which  was  unfavorable  to  the  harmony 
and  growth  of  the  original  congregation. 

The  experience  which  some  of  them  had  had  at  Saugus  was 
perhaps  ill  adapted  to  make  them  cordial  in  its  support.  Even 
if  the  strict  laws  in  relation  to  communion  and  ministerial  sub¬ 
sistence  and  attendance  upon  public  worship  were  observ'ed,  it  is 
evident  that  a  considerable  degree  of  laxness  was  from  the  very 
first  allowed.  The  freemen  of  the  town  were  more  than  once 


86 


BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY. 


censured  by  the  general  court  for  allowing  persons  to  settle  and 
reside  among  them  whose  views  were  looked  upon  as  disorderly. 

The  stipends  were  poorly  paid  and  often  were  reluctantly  col¬ 
lected.  The  minister  complained  that  few  attended  upon  his  min¬ 
istrations  and  serious  dissensions  prevailed  among  the  people.  In 
one  instance  these  are  spoken  of  as  caused  by  a  party  which  had 
once  been  under  the  influence  of  Stephen  Batchelder.  The  town 
authorities  are  said  to  have  been  unwilling,  or,  from  the  state  of 
public  feeling,  unable  to  enforce  the  laws  relating  to  public  wor¬ 
ship,  and  what  were  called  irregularities.  Some  of  the  most  re¬ 
spectable  inhabitants,  like  Mr.  Edward  Freeman  and  Edward 
Dillingham  among  the  original  associates,  were  complained  of  be¬ 
fore  the  court  and  fined. 

An  early  record  of  the  church  shows  only  eleven  male  mem¬ 
bers,  and  neither  in  this  nor  in  any  subsequent  notice  of  the  busi¬ 
ness  of  the  church  does  the  name  of  John  Wing  nor  any  of  his 
family  for  many  years  appear.  They  had  probably  all  been  com¬ 
municants  at  Saugus,  and  they  were  doubtless  decidedly  religious 
people,  but  inclined  to  greater  freedom  in  worship  and  in  ecclesi¬ 
astical  affairs.  We  shall  see  that  this  spirit  soon  took  a  direction 
which  led  a  large  portion  of  the  family  to  forsake  the  church  and 
the  forms  of  worship  established  by  the  civil  authority.  Very 
little  can  be  learned  from  the  meager  records  of  the  town,  the 
church  or  the  general  colony  regarding  the  family  history  of  John 
Wing. 

He  appears  to  have  been  a  plain  man  of  ordinary-  intelligence, 
never  aspiring  to  political  distinction,  and  only  ambitious  to  culti¬ 
vate  his  land  and  decently  to  bring  up  his  family.  In  a  few  in¬ 
stances,  however,  his  name  occurs  on  the  records  of  the  general 
court  as  one  well  qualified  for  public  business.  In  1641  he  is 
allowed  six  acres  for  his  share  of  the  meadow  lands  held  at  first  in 
common,  but  divided  afterwards  annually  for  the  use  of  the  inhabit¬ 
ants  in  severalty.  On  another  occasion  he  was  concerned  in  the 
construction  of  a  road  connecting  Sandwich  with  the  earlier  settle¬ 
ments.  For  some  time  the  people  had  been  obliged  either  to  re¬ 
duce  their  corn  to  meal  by  the  slow  and  laborious  Indian  process 
by  means  of  a  mortar  and  pestle,  or  transport  it  all  the  way  to 
Plymouth  on  their  own  shoulders  or  on  the  back  of  a  horse  or  cow. 
Tradition  points  out  the  old  Indian  path  by  which  the  people  on 
the  Cape  thus  wearily  conveyed  their  grist  to  and  from  Plymouth. 

In  1652  the  court  appointed  a  jury  of  thirteen  persons  to  lay  out 
the  most  convenient  track  for  a  road  from  Sandwich  to  Plymouth. 
John  Wing  was  the  seventh  on  this  list.  The  jury  was  empaneled 
three  days  afterwards  (Feb.  17)  and  commenced  their  work,  but  two 
years  from  that  time  the  road  was  not  completed,  and  both  Ply¬ 
mouth  and  Sandwich  were  presented  for  not  having  the  country 
highway  between  these  places  cleared  so  as  to  be  passable  for  man 
and  horse.  Some  apprehensions  began  early  to  be  felt  that  the 
Indians  of  the  west  were  hostilely  inclined  toward  the  settlers, 
and  a  law  was  enacted  to  prevent  all  Indians  from  having  the  use 
of  firearms.  A  number  of  persons  were  complained  of  (about 
1642)  for  allowing  Indians  to  use  such  weapons  even  in  hunting. 
Among  these  were  the  assistant  governor.  Freeman  and  John 
Wing  for  lending  guns  to  Indians.  The  date  of  John  Wing’s  or 
ot  his  wife’s  death  is  not  recorded. 

The  first  part  of  the  Book  of  Records  of  Sandwich  either  has 
been  lost  or  was  originally  so  defective  that  very  little  can  be 
made  of  them.  The  clerk  of  each  town  in  the  colony  was,  by  law. 
required  to  keep  a  full  register  of  all  the  births,  marriages  and 
deaths  which  occurred  m  his  town,  and  these  records  for  a  valu¬ 
able  repository  to  which  antiquarians  and  genealogists  can  now 
re.sort,  but  no  public  enactments  could  secure  them  against  the 
negligence  or  the  unskilfulness  of  the  officials,  the  remissness  of 
those  who  ought  to  have  reported  the  facts  or  the  ravages  of  fire 
in  later  times.  Even  the  wills  of  many  of  the  older  settlers,  from

which  much  information  might  have  been  gained,  are  not  unfre- 
quently  unrecorded  in  the  county  records.  A  very  good  idea, 
however,  may  be  obtained  of  the  common  life  and  manners  of  the 
people  from  the  traditions  and  literature  which  have  come  down 
to  us.  The  solemn  scriptural  style  of  speaking,  the  long  beards 
and  short  hair,  the  singular  fashion  of  dress  for  both  men  and 
women,  the  kind  of  houses  of  which  a  few  specimens  still  remain 
on  the  Cape,  the  large  fires  “kindled  by  fat  pine”  in  the  immense 
chimneys,  the  food  consisting  so  much  of  fish  and  maize,  the  meet¬ 
ings  on  the  “Lord’s  Day,”  the  town  and  church  meetings,  in 
which  equality  and  liberty  found  their  utmost  expression,  the 
quaint  laws  which,  in  solemn  phrase,  extended  to  the  minutest 
details  of  social  and  moral  conduct,  the  prolix  style  of  preaching 
and  the  long  public  and  private  prayers,  the  public  whippings 
in  the  pillory,  confinement  in  the  stocks  and  exposures  in  the  pub¬ 
lic  assemblies  for  private  offenses  and  the  scarlet  letter  markings 
on  the  garments,  or  the  brandings  in  the  face  for  shameful  crimes, 
are  all  proofs  of  a  state  of  society  utterly  passed  away.  The 
family  was  among  the  most  advanced  in  its  opposition  to  such 
excesses. 

But  a  visitor  on  the  Cape,  even  at  the  present  day,  will  easily 
discover  better  representatives  of  this  singular  race  than  can  be 
found  perhaps  in  any  other  part  of  the  world. 

The  streams  of  immigration  which  have  swept  by  them  on 
each  hand  have  left  here  remnants  of  an  original  stock,  whose 
influence  has  been  deeply  impressed  upon  the  national  character. 
Poor  as  the  soil  and  severe  as  the  skies  may  have  been  in  that 
region,  the  men  and  women  which  it  has  sent  forth  have  done 
much  to  shape  the  destinies  of  this  nation. 

The  number  of  children  had  by  John  and  Deborah  Wing  re¬ 
mains  a  matter  of  some  uncertainly.  We  have  no  evidence  that 
he  had  any  daughters,  and  very  little  to  make  us  suspect  that  he 
had  more  than  three  sons.  A  vague  tradition  relates  that  one  son, 
Matthew,  came  with  the  family  to  America,  but  returned  and  died 
in  England.  All  our  reliable  accounts,  however,  speak  only  of 
Daniel,  John  and  Stephen,  who  came  with  him  in  the  same  vessel, 
and  accompanied  him  until  his  settlement  in  Sandwich. 

Daniel,  the  eldest  son  of  John  and  Deborah  Batchelder  Wing 
(i),  of  Sandwich,  came  with  his  father  from  England,  and  accom¬ 
panied  him  until  he  was  settled  at  Sandwich.  They  resided  near 
one  another,  and  perhaps  in  the  same  house.  In  1640,  June  28, 
Andrew  Hallet,  being  about  to  remove  to  Yarmouth,  conveyed 
certain  landed  property  to  Daniel  Wing,  the  instrument  being 
witnessed  by  John  Wing  and  Edward  Dillingham.  This  was  un¬ 
doubtedly  a  farm  in  the  immediate  neighborhood  of  the  paternal 
mansion.  The  house  in  which  he  resided  was  probably  not  far 
from  the  spot  supposed  to  be  the  residence  of  his  father.  With 
his  brothers  he  was  enrolled  in  1643  among  those  who  were  at  that 
time  between  the  ages  of  16  and  60,  and  therefore  liable  to  bear 
arms.  Even  at  this  early  period  some  apprehensions  of  hostile 
movements  on  the  part  of  the  Narragansetts  on  the  west  of  the  bay 
which  now  bears  their  name,  began  to  be  entertained,  and  the 
people  were  called  upon  for  military  drills  and  equipments.  In 
Sandwich,  as  well  as  in  Plymouth  and  other  places,  twelve  or 
more  persons  were  enjoined  to  bring  their  muskets  with  shot  and 
powder  every  Lord’s  Day  to  the  meeting,  with  their  sword  and 
furniture  to  every  piece  ready  for  service  if  need  should  require. 
The  taking  of  fish  was  an  important  matter  in  the  commerce  of 
the  town  and  the  profits  of  the  leases  of  the  Herring  river,  and  the 
cutting  up  of  whales  and  other  large  fish  which  had  escaped,  after 
being  wounded,  from  their  pursuers  and  been  stranded  upon  the 
shores  of  the  bay  were  no  inconsiderable  item  in  defraying  the 
expenses  of  the  schools.  Accordingly,  in  1652,  an  agreement  was 
made  with  Daniel  Wing  and  Michael  Blackwell  for  the  taking  of 
the  fish  in  Herring  river,  and  it  was  ordered  that  Edmund  Free-

man,  Daniel  Wing  and  four  others  who  are  named,  "shall  take  care 
of  all  the  fish  that  Indians  shall  cut  up  within  the  limits  of  the 
town,  so  as  to  provide  safely  for  it,  and  shall  dispose  of  the  fish 
for  the  town’s  use;  also,  that  if  any  man  that  is  an  inhabitant 
shall  find  a  whale  and  report  it  to  any  of  these  six  men,  he  shall 
have  a  double,  and  that  these  six  men  shall  take  care  to  provide 
laborers  and  whatever  is  needful  so  that  whatever  whales  either 
Indian  or  white  man  gives  notice  of  they  may  dispose  of  the  pro¬ 
ceeds  to  the  town’s  use,  to  be  divided  equally  to  every  inhabitant. 
An  earlier  building  of  a  mill  for  the  accommodation  of  the  in¬ 
habitants  having  failed  in  1654,  four  persons  were  engaged  to 
build  one,  "the  town  paying  twenty  pounds,”  and  this  sum  was  at 
once  voluntarily  suscribed  by  Daniel  Wing  and  twenty-one  other 
inhabitants.  This  and  another  mill  were  soon  after  erected,  and 
millers  were  appointed  by  the  town  "to  grind  and  have  the  toll 
for  their  pains.”  It  was  during  the  year  1655  that  the  names  of 
Daniel  Wing  and  a  number  of  the  prominent  citizens  of  Sandwich 
are  first  mentioned  in  connection  with  a  serious  religious  dissen¬ 
sion  in  the  town.  From  the  fir.st  settlement  of  the  place,  its  inhabi¬ 
tants  were  looked  upon  by  the  authorities  at  Plymouth  as  more 
than  commonly  indifferent  to  the  execution  of  the  laws  in  favor  of 
uniformity  in  worship.  Many  persons  had  been  subjected  to  fines 
for  speaking  disrespectfully  of  the  laws,  and  of  the  mode  of  con¬ 
ducting  public’ worship.  So  great  became  the  falling  off  of  attend¬ 
ance  upon  the  ministrations  of  Mr.  Leverich,  the  first  minister, 
that  (about  1654)  he  concluded  to  leave  the  place,  and  for  nearly 
twenty  years  the  people  were  destitute  of  a  regular  pastor.  In 
the  meantime  Mr.  Richard  Bourne  and  Mr.  Thomas  Tupper,  per¬ 
sons  of  a  religious  turn  of  mind,  and  possessed  of  some  powers  of 
public  speaking,  but  without  a  regular  ordination,  conducted  the 
services  on  the  Lord’s  Day.  Each  of  them  had  his  party,  and 
each  was  the  occupant  of  the  pulpit  according  as  he  might  have 
the  most  adherents.  The  congregation  had  become  much  reduced 
in  numbers,  and  was  not  formally  divided,  though  distracted  by 
factions.  One  portion  of  them  are  said  to  have  been  tinged  with 
fanaticism  and  were  much  blamed  for  driving  away  the  late  pas¬ 
tor.  Another  portion  is  said  to  have  been  disgusted  with  such  a 
state  of  things  and  to  have  mainly  withdrawn  from  public  wor¬ 
ship.  These  last  are  said  by  Rev.  Mr.  Fessenden,  the  minister  of 
Sandwich,  1722-46,  to  have  embraced  Antinomian  and  Familistical 
errors,  under  the  ministry  of  Stephen  Batchelder,  the  first  minis¬ 
ter  of  Lynn.  And  yet  Daniel  Wing’s  name  appears  with  eighteen 
others  of  the  piost  respectable  and  conservative  of  the  church 
members,  attached  to  a  call  given  about  1655-6,  to  some  person 
engaged  as  a  temporary  .supply.  The  call  was  entered  upon  the 
regular  minutes  of  that  time,  though  it  is  now  without  super¬ 
scription  indicating  to  whom  it  was  addressed  or  its  precise  date. 
Such  notices  prepare  us  to  appreciate  the  position  of  Daniel  Wing 
and  others  who  acted  with  him  in  political  and  religious  affairs. 
As  early  as  1646,  a  general  movement  was  made  throughout  the 
Plymouth  colony  in  behalf  of  toleration.  A  petition  was  exten¬ 
sively  signed  and  presented  to  the  general  court  "to  allow  and 
maintain  full  and  free  tolerance  of  religion  to  all  men  that  would 
preserve  the  civil  peace  and  submit  to  government.”  It  was  sup¬ 
ported  by  numbers  of  the  deputies  and  by  a  large  portion  of  the  in¬ 
habitants  of  Sandwich.  It  was,  however,  overruled  by  the  arbi¬ 
trary  act  of  Governor  Bradford.  In  1654,  it  is  recorded  that  the 
people  of  both  colonies  began  about  this  time  to  be  indifferent  to 
the  ministry,  and  to  exercise  their  own  gifts,  doubting  the  utility 
of  public  preaching.  Up  to  this  time  Daniel  acted  with  the 
church  of  Sandwich,  and  his  contributions  were  among  the  largest 
in  the  support  of  the  minister  and  in  the  repairs  of  the  parson¬ 
age.  His  name  does  not  appear  among  the  opponents  of  that 
minister,  and  the  probability  is  that  he  was  one  of  those  who  were 
offended  at  the  proceedings  which  resulted  in  the  long  vacancy.

In  1657,  “the  people  called  Quakers”  made  theii^  first  appearance 
in  Sandwich.  In  Bowden’s  “History  of  the  Society  of  Friends  in 
America,”  it  is  mentioned  that  two  English  Friends,  named  Chris¬ 
topher  Holden  and  John  Copeland,  came  to  Sandwich  on  the  20th 
of  6th  month,  1657,  and  had  a  number  of  meetings,  and  that 
their  arrival  was  hailed  with  feelings  of  satisfaction  by  many  who 
had  long  been  burdened  with  a  lifeless  ministry  and  dead  forms  in 
religion.  But  the  town  had  its  advocates  of  religious  intolerance 
and  no  small  commotion  ensued.”  The  governor  issued  a  war¬ 
rant  for  their  arrest,  but  when  a  copy  of  the  warrant  was  asked 
for  by  Wm.  Newland,  at  whose  house  the  meetings  had  been 
held,  it  was  refused,  and  its  execution  was  resisted.  A  severe 
rebuke  and  a  fine  was  then  inflicted  upon  them.  The  two  prison¬ 
ers  were  sentenced  to  be  whipped,  but  the  selectmen  of  the  town 
declined  to  act  in  the  case,  and  the  marshal  was  obliged  to  take 
them  to  Barnstable  to  find  a  magistrate  willing  to  comply  with 
the  order. 

Tradition  reports  that  many  meetings  were  held  at  a  secluded 
spot  in  the  woods,  which  from  the  preacher’s  Christian  name,  was 
afterward  known  as  “Christopher’s  Hollow.”  Numerous  com- 
j)laints  were  made  against  divers  persons  in  Sandwich  for  meet¬ 
ings  at  private  houses  and  inveighing  against  magistrates,  and 
several  men  and  women  were  publicly  whipped  for  disturbing 
public  worship,  for  abusing  the  ministers,  for  encouraging  others 
in  holding  meetings,  for  entertaining  the  preachers  and  for  un¬ 
worthy  speeches.  Daniel  Wing,  with  three  others,  was  arrested 
for  tumultuous  carriage  at  a  meeting  of  Quakers  and  severely 
fined,  though  there  is  no  evidence  that  a  single  Quaker,  besides 
the  preachers,  was  present,  and  it  is  certain  that  neither  of  these 
persons  professed  at  that  time  any  adherence  to  the  new  sect. 
Daniel  and  Stephen  Wing  refused  to  take  the  oath  of  fidelity, 
not  on  the  ground  that  they  declined  all  oaths,  but  because  this 
particular  oath  pledged  them  to  assist  in  the  execution  of  an  in¬ 
tolerant  enactment.  Indeed,  so  generally  were  the  laws  against 
free  worship  condemned  in  Sandwich,  that  the  constable  was  “un¬ 
able  to  discharge  his  duty  by  reason  of  many  disturbent  persons 
there  residing,”  and  it  was  enacted  that  a  marshal  be  chosen  for 
such  service  in  Sandwich,  Barnstable  and  Yarmouth.  In  1658  a 
list  was  made  out  by  the  governor  and  other  magistrates  of  cer¬ 
tain  persons  who  refused  to  take  the  oath  of  fidelity,  and  for 
that  reason  had  no  legal  right  to  act  as  inhabitants.  They  were, 
therefore,  each  fined  five  pounds  to  the  colony’s  use,  and  it  was 
ordered  that  each  and  every  one  of  them  should  henceforth  have 
no  power  to  act  in  any  town  meeting  till  better  evidence  appeared 
of  their  legal  admittance,  nor  to  claim  title  or  interest  in  any 
town  privileges  as  townsmen,  and  that  no  man  should  henceforth 
be  admitted  an  inhabitant  of  Sandwich,  or  enjoy  the  privileges 
thereof,  without  the  approbation  of  the  church  and  of  Jlr.  Thomas 
Prince  (the  governor),  or  of  the  assistants  whom  they  shall 
choose.  Many  were  summoned  to  Plymouth  to  account  for  non- 
attendance  upon  public  worship  and  distraints  were  exacted  from 
these  recusants  in  Sandwich  to  satisfy  for  fines  to  the  amount  of 
six  hundred  and  sixty  pounds.  Of  these  fines  Daniel  Wing  paid 
not  less  than  twelve  pounds. 

Up  to  this  time  Daniel  Wing,  with  others  who  acted  with  him, 
appear  simply  as  friends  of  toleration  and  resisters  of  an  oppres¬ 
sive  law.  But  it  was  not  long  before  he  and  most  of  these  sym¬ 
pathizers  became  active  converts  to  the  persecuted  sect.  In  1658 
no  less  than  eighteen  families  in  Sandwich  recorded  their  names 
in  one  of  the  documents  of  the  society.  Writers  of  that  period 
(1658-60)  say,  “We  have  two  strong  places  in  this  land,  the  one  at 
Newport  and  the  other  at  Sandwich;  almost  the  whole  town  of 
Sandwich  is  adhering  towards  them,”  and  the  records  of  Monthly 
Meetings  of  Friends  show  that  the  Sandwich  Monthly  Meeting 
was  the  first  established  in  America.  ”  Its  records  extend  as  far

back  as  1672,  which  is  earlier  than  any  other  known  in  this  coun¬ 
try.  It  was  not  until  the  accession  of  King  Charles  the  Second 
(about  1660)  that  these  proceedings  against  the  Quakers  were  dis¬ 
continued  by  the  royal  order,  and  the  most  obnoxious  laws  were 
repealed  in  the  colony  of  Plymouth,  when  we  are  told  that  “the 
Quakers  became  the  most  peaceful,  industrious  and  moral  of  all 
the  religious  sects.”  In  the  fervor  of  religious  zeal,  and  while 
smarting  under  severe  injuries,  they  doubtless,  at  this  early 
period,  provoked  the  authorities  by  indiscretions  which  none  of 
their  successors  in  the  faith  would  attempt  to  justify,  ancj  yet 
every  descendant  of  the  Puritans  must  regret  that  those  who  had 
themselves  suffered  so  much  for  their  conscientious  convictions 
should  have  inflicted  such  severities  upon  dissenters  from  their 
own  views. 

In  1658  the  true  bounds  of  every  inhabitant’s  lands  were  laid 
out  and  ordered  by  the  general  court,  so  that  the  lands  might  be 
brought  to  record.  There  were  fifty-five  such  owners  whose 
names  are  recorded,  among  whom  Daniel  and  Stephen  Wing  are 
mentioned.  According  to  some  records  Daniel  died  in  the  year 
1664,  but  Freeman  and  Savage  make  his  death  five  years  earlier 
(1659).  His  will  was  dated  May  3,  1659,  but  as  one  of  his  children 
was  born  in  1660,  and  another  later  in  the  year  1664,  we  agree  with 
the  Plymouth  records  in  placing  his  death  near  the  latter  date. 
He  married  9th  month,  5,  1641,  Hannah,  a  daughter  of  John 
Swift.  The  Swifts  were  numerous  in  the  western  part  of  the 
town,  especially  at  Scusset  (West  Sandwich),  where  an  inn  was 
for  many  years  kept  by  one  of  the  name  of  such  notoriety  as  to 
give  the  place-  itself  a  considerable  reputation.  Hannah  died 
Dec.  I,  1664,  soon  after  the  birth  of  her  youngest  child.  Her 
father’s  will,  dated  the  twelfth  day  of  the  eighth  month,  1662,  be¬ 
queathed  certain  amounts  to  Samuel  and  John,  the  sons  of  his 
daughter  Hannah ;  and  the  inventory  of  his  property  was  made 
May  I,  1666,  by  Stephen  Wing  and  Stephen  Skiffe.  Ch. :  i.  Sam¬

lage.  There,  in  the  midst  of  a  thickly  settled  neighborhood  of  the 
same  faith,  now  rises  the  neat  and  commodious  house  of  worship, 
which  has  succeeded  one  or  two  less  costly  structures  before  it. 
It  has  no  spire,  but  being  on  an  eminence  can  be  seen  from  afar. 
It  is  divided  into  two  parts,  for  the  men  and  women  respectively, 
and  a  partition  is  so  contrived  that  it  can  be  let  down  between 
them  on  such  occasions  as  require  separate  meetings.  The  seats, 
which  are  occupied  by  the  ministers,  are  three  in  number,  gradu¬ 
ally  ascending  one  above  the  other,  extending  on  each  side  of  this 
partition,  and  divided  by  it,  so  as  to  accommodate  the  male  and 
female  preachers.  On  the  days  when  the  writer  was  present 
(1874),  the  house  was  well  filled  with  intelligent  worshipers,  and 
the  preachers’  seats  were  occupied  by  about  a  dozen  men  and 
women  of  a  venerable  and  devout  aspect,  inhabitants  of  Sand¬ 
wich,  and  during  the  week  engaged  in  ordinary  employments. 

Here,  for  six  generations,  this  people  have  worshiped  God 
according  to  their  simple  forms,  little  affected  by  the  changes  of 
the  outer  world,  and  sincerely  witnessing  for  their  original  prin¬ 
ciples.  Even  during  our  first  Rev'olutionary  and  the  late  Civil 
Wars,  though  they  showed  in  many  ways  on  which  side  their 
warm  sympathies  were,  they  could  not  be  induced  to  act  incon¬ 
sistently  with  their  peculiar  tenets.  In  1692  the  liberty  of  con¬ 
science  which  had  been  secured  to  them  only  by  royal  order  was 
guaranteed  by  the  new  charter,  and  they  were  no  longer  called 
upon  to  support  other  establishments.  Near  the  house  of  worship 
are  two  cemeteries,  the  oldest  of  which  is  now  filled  with  graves, 
which,  however,  are  invisible  above  the  smooth  green  turf,  in 
accordance  with  the  principle  formerly  entertained  that  monu¬ 
ments  and  inscriptions  were  too  generally  expressions  of  an  osten¬ 
tatious  and  flattering  spirit.  In  the  more  recently  constructed 
graveyard  low  tombstones  are  allowed,  on  which  may  be  inscribed 
only  the  names  of  the  deceased  with  the  dates  of  their  birth  and 
death.  We  seek  in  vain,  therefore,  to  identify  the  precise  spot  in 
which  the  dust  of  any  one  of  the  family  in  its  earlier  generations 
now  reposes.  We  only  know  that  within  that  ancient  enclosure 
are  probably  buried  more  of  the  name  than  can  be  found  in  any 
other  in  America. 

John,  the  second  son  of  John  and  Deborah  Batchelder  Wing,  of 
Sandv?^ich,  was  born  in  England,  and  came  to  America  with  his 
father  in  1632.  His  age  at  that  time  is  not  known,  and  we  have 
no  means  of  learning  it  from  any  subsequent  dates.  He  went 
with  his  father  and  brothers  from  Saugus  to  Sandwich  on  the  first 
settlement  of  the  latter  town,  but  must  have  left  home  at  an  early 
period  to  form  a  new  settlement  on  the  Cape  eastward.  The  town 
of  Yarmouth  was  incorporated  in  1639,  but  in  the  last  month  of 
the  same  year  Barnstable  was  set  off  between  it  and  Sandwich. 
It  extends  from  Barnstable  Bay  on  the  north  to  the  sound  on  the 
south. 

A  part  of  its  northern  shore  was  originally  called  Mattacheese 
from  an  Indian  tribe  residing  there,  on  whose  lands  his  maternal 
grandfather.  Rev.  Stephen  Batchelder,  had,  with  a  few  friends, 
made  a  fruitless  attempt  to  form  a  settlement.  The  precise  date 
of  his  removal  cannot  be  determined,  as  the  early  records  of  the 
town  of  Yarmouth  were,  in  1674,  destroyed  by  fire  and  the  first 
twenty  pages  of  the  Harwich  records  are  entirely  lost.  From  in¬ 
cidental  notices  in  the  records  of  the  Court  of  Plymouth  and  at 
Barnstable  we  gather  a  few  items.  The  first  reference  of  any  in¬ 
terest  to  our  history  is  under  date  of  March  1,  1659,  follows; 
The  court,  taking  notice  that  John  Wing  is  erecting  a  building  in 
a  place  that  is  out  of  bounds  of  the  township,  and  conceiving  that 
such  practices,  if  permitted,  may  prove  prejudicial  to  the  whole, 
do  order  that  the  said  John  Wing,  and  others  that  have  done  or 
shall  do  so,  be  prohibited  to  persist  therein  until  it  be  further 
cleared  to  what  township  such  lands  belong  on  which  they  build. 
This  order  refers  to  a  requirement  of  that  period  that  no  persons 


BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY. 


should  settle  upon  lands  which  were  not  included  within  the 
chartered  limits  of  towns,  and  under  the  permission  of  the  court 
and  body  of  freemen  incorporated  by  the  government.  There 
was  some  doubt  whether  Sautucket,  the  place  at  which  John  Wing 
had  commenced  building,  was  within  the  limits  which  had  been 
given  to  Yarmouth  township,  and  until  that  question  had  been 
decided  it  was  deemed  proper  to  prohibit  its  settlement.  As,  how¬ 
ever,  it  was  reputed  to  be,  and  was  soon  afterwards  proved  to  be 
within  the  chartered  limits  of  the  township,  John  Wing  had 
already  begun  to  build  and  soon  established  himself  there.  In¬ 
deed,  there  are  some  indications  that  for  an  indefinite  time  before 
this  he  had  purchased  and  lived  upon  a  piece  of  land  in  the 
vicinity.  It  was  in  the  northern  part  of  the  town,  in  the  neighbor¬ 
hood  of  the  sea  coast.  The  Indians  were  then  and  for  some  time 
afterwards  numerous  in  that  region,  but  they  were  peaceable  and 
never  engaged  in  any  hostile  proceedings  against  the  English. 
The  precise  spot  on  which  John  Wing  settled  is  supposed  to  have 
been  a  high  piece  of  land  surrounded  by  swamp  or  meadow  land, 
subsequently  called  “Wing’s  Island,”  about  a  mile  northeast  of 
the  present  town  of  Brewster.  It  was  doubtless  selected  on 
account  of  its  fertility  and  adaptation  to  the  grazing  of  cattle. 
Freeman  calls  him  and  Lieut.  John  Dillingham  (also  from  Sand¬ 
wich)  “large  land  owners.”  The  line  on  the  east  of  Brewster, 
for  a  long  time  called  “Wing’s  Line,”  was  the  base  of  future  sur¬ 
veys,  and  indicates  a  tract  of  land  extending  across  the  peninsula 
from  the  northern  to  the  southern  coast.  A  large  pond  also  in 
Brewster  bears  the  name  of  Wing  to  the  present  time.  In  1677, 
a  town  meeting.  May  30,  the  townsmen  of  Yarmouth  did  forewarn 
John  Wing  and  our  neighbors  of  Sautucket  from  purchasing  any 
lands  in  the  bounds  of  our  township  of  any  Indian,  or  to  take  any 
possession  thereof  from  them  as  being  contrary  to  court  order. 
The  order  here  referred  to  was  one  which  prohibited  any  private 
purchases  from  the  aboriginal  possessors  of  the  soil ;  in  the  first 
place  because  no  private  Indian  was  really  the  owner  of  tribal 
lands  in  severalty,  and  in  the  second  place  because  advantage  was 
often  taken  of  Indians  by  selfish  and  dishonest  persons.  It  ap¬ 
pears,  however,  that  some  transaction  of  this  kind  were  allowed, 
especially  with  certain  chiefs  or  sachems  who  were  actual  owners 
of  individual  property.  The  very  transaction  here  alluded  to  was 
subsequently  allowed,  and  became  the  legal  title  to  a  large  body 
of  land.  In  the  Book  of  Evidences  of  lands  for  the  jurisdiction  of 
New  Plymouth,  there  is  recorded  a  deed  of  land,  of  which  the  fol¬ 
lowing  is  the  purport,  viz. :  On  the  first  of  March,  1676-7,  John 
Wing  and  John  Dillingham,  in  behalf  of  themselves  and  others 
associated  with  them  (viz.,  Thomas  Clarke,  Kenelm  Winslow, 
Paul  Sears  and  Ananias  and  Joseph  Wing)  purchased  of  Robin 
(Indian),  of  Mattacheese,  of  Samson,  of  Nobscusset,  and  Panasa- 
must,  his  wife,  and  of  Ralph,  of  Nobscusset,  and  Menetatomust, 
his  wife,  other  daughters  of  Nepatian;  all  that  tract  of  land,  both 
upland  and  meadow,  which  they  had  in  common  or  partnership 
lying  in  Saquetucket  in  the  liberties  of  Yarmouth  between  the 
place  commonly  called  Bound  Brook  on  the  west,  and  the  middle 
of  Saquetucket  nver  on  the  east.  In  this  purchase  John  Wing 
was  to  have  a  third  part  of  four  shares.  The  division  was  made, 
and  the  land  was  deeded  to  each  April  16,  1677-8.  The  original 
deed  is  said  to  be  in  the  possession  of  Amos  Otis,  Esq.,  but  a  copy 
of  it  in  full  has  been  taken  by  the  writer.*  The  land  lies  within  the 
limits  of  the  present  township  of  Brewster,  and  is  said  to  be  among 
the  most  valuable  in  that  vicinity. 

On  the  15th  of  March,  1680,  it  appears  from  the  town  records 
that  an  agreement  was  made  with  our  neighbors,  the  purchasers 
or  proprietors  of  the  land  between  Stony  Brook  and  Bound  Brook, 
subsequently  signed  Ananias  Wing,  Paul  Sears,  Kenelm  Winslow 
and  John  Dillingham,  Jun. ,  on  the  one  part,  an(i  by  John  Thacher 
and  others  on  behalf  of  the  town.  This  was  probably  the  final

settlement  of  the  question  between  the  town  and  the  association 
in  the  above  mentioned  purchase.  The  years  1675-6  were  memor¬ 
able  for  the  war  with  the  Indians,  commonly  called  Philip’s  war. 
In  consequence  of  the  friendly  attitude  which  had  always  been 
maintained  by  the  tribes  on  the  Cape,  the  inhabitants  there  were 
not  molested  at  their  homes,  but  they  were  subjected  to  severe  losses, 
both  of  men  and  money  for  the  supply  of  troops.  John  Wing  assessed, 
in  1776,  towards  the  charge  in  the  late  war,  five  pounds  sixteen  shil¬ 
lings  and  three  pence.  No  traces  are  now  perceptible  of  the  resi¬ 
dence  in  which  John  Wing  lived  for  more  than  forty  years.  His 
first  wife’s  name  was  Elizabeth,  and  Savage  thinks  that  he  found 
her  in  Saugus  (Lynn).  She  was  the  mother  of  all  his  children. 
She  was  probably  the  person  meant  in  the  record  of  Yarmouth, 
which  says:  “Jan.  31,  1692 — The  last  of  January  Old  Goody  Wing 
died.’’  In  1723,  the  pew  No.  9  in  the  new  meeting  house,  was 
assigned  to  John  Wing,  Sen.,  for  which  he  paid  five  pounds  ten 
shillings,  this  being  the  ninth,  according  to  the  dignity  and  valua¬ 
tion  of  the  pews.  For  his  second  wife  he  married  Miriam,  the 
daughter  of  Stephen  Dean,  of  Plymouth,  one  of  the  old  comers. 
John  Wing  died  in  1699.  His  will  dated  May  2,  1696,  and  was 
witnessed  by  John  Thatcher,  John  Dillingham  and  William 
Griffith.  A  codicil  is  dated  Feb.  6,  1698-9.  This  will,  which  is 
very  lengthy,  was  presented  to  probate  Aug.  10,  1699,  and  it  is 
now  on  record  at  Barnstable.  It  makes  mention  of  his  wife 
Miriam,  his  three  children,  Ananias,  Susannah  Parslow  and 
Oseah  Turner,  his  grandsons,  John  and  Elnathan,  and  the 
children  of  his  deceased  son,  Joseph.  He  probably  never  bore 
office  in  his  town,  although  he  appears  to  have  been  public  spirited 
and  much  respected.  He  was  devoted  rather  to  agriculture  and 
the  acquisition  of  land  for  himself  and  his  children.  His  wife  sur¬ 
vived  him  for  two  years  or  three  years.  She  made  a  will,  which 
was  dated  May  24,  1701,  and  was  probated  in  January,  1702-3.  It 
gives  the  principal  part  of  her  property',  inherited  from  her 
wealthy  parents,  to  Dean  Smith,  of  Chatham,  whose  mother  was 
her  sister,  Bethia  Smith,  of  Monomoith.  The  inventory  of  her 
personal  property  was  taken  in  January,  1702-3,  and  its  value  was 
assessed  at  seventy-eight  pounds,  tweU'e  shillings  and  two  pence.

Stephen,  the  youngest  son  of  John  and  Deborah  Batchelder 
Wing,  resided  in  Sandwich.  It  is  contended  by  some  that  he  con¬ 
tinued  to  live  with  his  father  even  after  his  marriage.  Tradition, 
however,  with  considerable  confidence  and  probability',  fixes  his 
precise  location  on  a  farm  not  far  from  Spring  Hill,  now  in  the 
possession  of  a  descendant.  A  part  of  the  house  which  he  built  in 
1O44  is  said  to  be  still  in  existence.  From  his  business  as  a  town 
official  we  concluded  that  for  a  while  at  least  he  must  have  lived 
at  the  central  village  of  Sandwich.  In  1646-7  he  was  married  to 
Oseah,  the  daughter  of  Edward  Dillingham,  one  of  the  nine  asso¬ 
ciates  to  whom  the  town  had  been  granted  April  3,  1637.  In  ac¬ 
cordance  with  the  rigid  laws  of  that  period,  and  which  were  en¬ 
forced  against  all,  however  high  their  position  in  society,  some 
objections  were  made  against  him  and  a  fine  was  laid  upon  him 
by  the  court  at  Plymouth,  March  2,  1646-7,  for  the  too  early  birth 
of  his  first  child  after  marriage.  He  appears,  however,  to  have 
been  an  earnest  advocate  of  religion  and  of  morality,  for  he  was  a 
strenuous  supporter  of  religious  meetings  and  of  public  order,  y'et 
he,  with  many  others  of  that  period,  came  in  conflict  with  the  ex¬ 
clusiveness  and  intolerance  to  which  both  church  and  state  were 
then  committed.  From  the  first  the  whole  family  of  his  father 


•4 


BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY. 


and  his  mother’s  father  were  inclined  to  a  greater  freedom  in  wor¬ 
ship  and  life  than  the  customs  and  laws  of  the  colonies  permitted. 
In  this  they  had  the  sympathies  of  what  seems  to  hav^e  been  for 
many  years  a  majority  of  the  inhabitants  of  Sandwich.  The  re¬ 
ligious  difficulties  of  the  town  by  no  means  originated,  as  has 
been  supposed,  with  the  advent  of  the  Quakers.  Land  complaints 
were  made  respecting  those  who  resisted  the  severe  and  arbitrary 
laws  of  the  colony  long  before  any  meetings  forbidden  by  law  were 
set  up,  or  the  name  of  Quaker  was  known.  And  yet  the  pre¬ 
valence  of  such  a  spirit  and  sentmient  prepared  the  people  of 
Sandwich  to  decline  enforcing  and  even  to  resist  the  cruel  laws 
against  the  Quakers  when  these  people  made  their  appearance. 
In  1657,  when  Nicholas  Upsall  visited  Sandwich,  there  was  a  great 
commotion.  Public  proclamation  was  made  that  for  every  hour’s 
entertainment  of  him  “  a  severe  fine  was  to  be  exacted.”  In  spite 
of  such  a  law,  several  families  at  that  time  not  at  all  inclined  to 
Quakerism,  not  only  received  him  to  their  houses,  but  allowed 
him  and  others  to  hold  meetings  and  attended  upon  them.  Ste¬ 
phen,  when  his  brother  Daniel  began  first  with  contending  for 
tolerance,  and  soon  their  sympathy  with  suffering  was  exchanged 
for  conversion  to  the  faith  of  the  sufferers.  Severe  fines  were 
imposed  upon  him,  imprisonment  was  threatened  if  not  absolutely 
inflicted  on  him,  and  even  the  town  privileges  of  a  freeman  were 
withdrawn  from  him  and  his  friends  because  he  declined  for  a 
time  to  take  the  oath  of  fidelity  which  bound  him  to  assist  in  the 
execution  of  such  laws. 

He  had  been  admitted  a  freeman  and  enrolled  among  those 
liable  to  bear  arms  in  1O43,  and  had  been  assigned  his  proper 
proportion  and  boundary  of  land  111  1658.  So  large,  however,  was 
the  number  of  converts  to  the  Friends,  and  so  general  the  disjio- 
sition  to  tolerate  them  among  the  people  of  Sandwich,  that  the 
laws  against  them  could  not  be  enforced,  and  if  any  punishments 
were  inflicted  it  had  to  be  done  out  of  town. 

Stephen  and  his  family  became  permanently  connected  with  the 
society  of  Friends,  and  his  posterity  have  in  all  their  generations 
remained  true  to  his  example.  In  1667  he,  with  William  Griffith, 
presented  to  probate  the  will  of  his  father-in-law,  Edward  Dill¬ 
ingham,  and  in  1669  he  was  chosen  town  clerk.  In  1675  the  town 
voted  to  record  his  name  with  many  others  as  having  a  just  right 
to  the  privileges  of  the  town.  In  1678  he  seems  to  have  overcome 
his  scruples  about  taking  the  oath  of  fidelity,  for  his  name  that 
year  appears  among  those  on  the  list  of  its  receivers.  On  the  gth 
day  of  the  4th  month,  1653-4,  his  wife,  Oseah,  died;  and  on  the 
7th  of  the  II  month  of  the  same  year  he  married  Sarah,  the  daugh¬ 
ter  of  John  Briggs,  who  came  to  America  in  1635,  aged  20.  She 
died  3d  month  26,  i68g;  but  the  period  of  his  own  death  is  uncer¬ 
tain.*  One  account  gives  it  as  2d  month  24, 1710  (old  style).  The 
will  of  one  named  Stephen  Wing  is  given  in  the  records,  dated 
Dec.  2,  1700,  and  proved  July  13,  1710;  and  it  mentions  sons 
Nathaniel,  Elisha  and  John,  and  daughters  Sarah  Gifford  and 
Abigail  Wing,  and  a  grandson,  Jeremiah  Gifford.  Ebenezer  Wing 
and  Matthew  Wing,  sons  of  the  deceased,  were  appointed  by  the 
judge  to  be  executors  of  the  will.  From  this  date  we  infer  that 
Stephen  continued  to  live  through  the  first  decade  of  the  last  cen¬ 
tury,  although  he  must  then  have  been  not  less  than  eighty-eight 
years  of  age.  His  children:  i.  Nathaniel,  b.  about  1646-7;  res.

REV.  STEPHEN  BACHILER. 

(By  V.  C.  Sanborn.) 

Concerning  the  life  of  Stephen  Bachiler  less  is  known  than  of  most  of  the 
founders  of  New  England  ;  yet  few  of  the  early  Puritans  were  more  widely  known 
in  their  day,  and  none  had  a  more  checkered  career.  Bachiler,  as  is  said  of  a  de¬ 
scendant  of  his,  “had  a  real  genius  for  opposing  the  majority,”  and  in  consequence 

his  character  has  been  much  maligned. 
The  truth  is  he  was  a  reformer,  with 
the  strength  and  weakness  of  his  kind. 
He  was  among  the  first  to  refuse  con¬ 
formity  to  the  English  church,  and 
“suffered  much  at  the  hands  of  the 
Bishops.”  He  came  to  America  in  his 
old  age,  hoping  to  find  here  that  lib¬ 
erty  which  was  denied  at  home;  he 
rebelled  at  the  union  of  church  and 
state,  which  the  strong  Puritan  cove¬ 
nant  enforced,  and  in  consequence 
found  himself  opposed  to  the  party  in 
power,  the  Massachusetts  authorities. 
After  twenty  years  of  conflict,  in  his 
old  age  he  returned  to  England,  prefer¬ 
ring  to  pass  his  last  days  among  the 
Puritans  there,  rather  than  in  New 
England.  His  life  measures  the  Puri¬ 
tan  epoch ;  he  was  among  the  first 
clergymen  to  be  ejected,  and  he  died 
with  the  English  Republic. 

Stephen  Bachiler  was  born  in  1560. 
His  jiarentage  and  birthjilace  are  as 
yet  unknown — Southern  England  was 
at  that  time  full  of  Bachilers;  Hamp¬ 
shire,  Surrey,  Susse.x  and  Kent  had 
distinct  lines,  while  the  Channel  Isl¬ 
ands  were  the  home  of  a  Bachiler 
family  of  French  extraction.  Probably 
rhis  French  family,  migrating  to  Southampton  and  forming  an  important  part  of 
the  French  Protestant  church  there,  was  the  ancestral  line  of  Stephen  Bachiler. 
Certain  it  is  that  his  lifelong  connection  was  with  Hampshire,  and  he  was  allied  to 
the  Le  Mercier  and  Priaulx  families  of  Jersey  and  Southampton. 

The  first  record  of  Stephen  Bachiler  is  in  1581,  when,  at  20,  he  was  matriculated 
at  the  then  newly  established  college  of  St.  John,  Oxford,  on  Nov.  17,  1581.  Here 
he  took  his  B.  A.  in  1586.  St.  John’s  was  founded  in  1555  by  Sir  Thomas  White, 
and  is  now  one  of  the  most  interesting  colleges  in  O.xford,  possessing  the  most 
beautiful  gardens  there.  The  scholars  of  St.  John’s  were  of  various  opinions;  the 
list  includes  Archbishops  Laud  and  Juxon,  and  the  celebrated  nonconformist, 
Calamy. 

From  O.xford  Bachiler  entered  the  church,  and  on  July  15,  1587,  was  instituted 
as  Vicar  of  Wherwell,  Hants,  being  presented  to  that  living  by  William,  Lord  de  la 
Warr,  the  ancestor  of  the  nobleman  from  whom  Delaware  derives  its  name.  Wher¬ 
well  (“Horrell”)  is  a  beautiful  village  on  the  Test,  and  was  in  its  most  perfect 
beauty  when  I  saw  it  in  June,  1895.  The  church  lies  a  short  distance  from  Wher¬ 
well  Priory,  the  home  of  Mr.  Iremonger,  and  a  most  ideal  English  county  seat. 
The  present  church,  though  located  on  the  original  site,  is  not  the  building  of 
Bachiler’s  time,  and  the  registers  before  1624  are  missing,  so  that  I  found  nothing 
there  concerning  him.  The  Bishop’s  Transcripts  at  Winchester  are  not  accessible. 
In  1605,  Bachiler  was  “depryved”  of  his  living — the  cause  is  not  stated,  but  it  was 


BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY.

presumably  by  the  order  of  the  commission  appointed  by  James  I,  of  which  com¬ 
mission  Lord  de  la  Warr,  a  son  of  the  nobleman  who  presented  Bachiler  to  Wher- 
well,  was  a  member.  August  g,  1605,  John  Bate  was  appointed  Vicar  at  Wherwell, 
a  vacancy  existing  because  of  ‘'the  ejection  of  Stephen  Bachiler.” 

From  1605  the  record  of  Bachiler’s  English  life  is  very  fragmentary.  In  1610 
his  son  Stephen  was  matriculated  at  Magdalen  College,  Oxford,  ‘‘the  son  of  a 
clergyman  of  Hampshire.”  In  1621  Adam  Winthrop’s  diary  relates  that  he  had 
‘‘]\Ir.  Bachiler,  the  preacher,”  to  dine  with  him.  Tradition  says  that  Bachiler  fled 
to  Holland;  Winthrop’s  History  states  that  he  ‘‘suffered  much  at  the  hands  of  the 
Bishops;”  but  no  record  of  his  life  in  Holland  is  extant.  Perhaps  this  suffering 
and  flight  were  between  1605  and  1622,  for  in  the  latter  year  we  find  him  established 
in  Newton  Stacy,  a  retired  hamlet,  a  mile  and  a  half  east  of  Wherwell.  Here 
Bachiler  bought  land  in  1622  and  1629,  and  accumulated  quite  a  property;  he  still 
preached  the  Puritan  doctrines,  for  we  find  Sir  Robert  Payne  in  1632.  being  then 
sheriff  of  Hants,  complaining  that  his  tenants,  ‘‘having  been  formerly  misled  by  one 
Stephen  Bachiler,  a  notorious  inconformist,  did  demolish  a  consecrated  chapel  in 
Newton  Stacy.” 

In  1630 ‘‘The  Plough  Company  of  Husbandmen”  was  formed,  and  obtained  a 
patent  to  laud  near  the  mouth  of  the  Sagadahoc  river,  in  Maine.  They  chose 
Bachiler  as  their  pastor,  and  he  also  adventured  a  considerable  sum  in  the  enter¬ 
prise,  selling  his  Hampshire  property  to  enable  him  to  do  this.  Through  fraud  or 
some  underhand  dealing  the  Plough  Company  failed,  in  1631-2,  after  Bachiler  had 
made  preparations  to  come  to  New  England  and  settle  in  Cambridge  (Newton). 
Before  sailing  for  America,  Bachiler  and  his  wife,  accompanied  by  his  widowed 
daughter,  Ann  Samborne,  then  “living  in  ye  Strand,”  obtained  permission  to  go 
to  Holland  for  two  months,  ‘‘to  visit  his  sons  and  daughters  there.”  One  of  these 
sons  was  probably  that  Samuel  Bachiler,  chaplain  to  Sir  Charles  Morgan’s  regi¬ 
ment  in  Holland,  who,  in  1625,  published  his  ‘‘Miles  Christianus,”  probably  the 
treatise  which  Bachiler  sent  as  a  gift  to  Margaret  Winthrop  in  1640.  At  this 
period,  too,  is  that  grant  of  arms  to  Stephen  Bachiler,  described  by  Sylvanus  Mor¬ 
gan  in  his  ‘‘Sphere  of  Gentry” — Vert,  a  plow  in  fess;  in  base  the  sun  rising,  or. 
This  coat  Morgan  states  was  granted  to  ‘‘Stephen  Bachiler,  the  first  pastor  of  the 
church  of  Lygonia  in  New  England,  the  plough  to  signify  his  ploughing  up  the 
fallow  ground  of  their  hearts,  and  the  sun  in  allusion  to  his  motto:  ‘Sol  Justitim 
Exoritur.’  ” 

Bachiler  married  twice  in  England;  all  of  his  children  of  whom  we  have  rec¬ 
ord  were  by  his  first  wife. 

Bachiler’s  second  wife,  Helen,  accompanied  him  to  New  England,  dying  in  1642. 

On  March  g,  1632,  Bachiler  sailed  for  New  England  in  the  “William  and 
Francis,”  landing  at  Boston,  June  5,  1632.  Winthrop,  in  relating  the  fact,  states 
that  on  the  ship  were  “Mr.  Bachiler  and  Mr.  Welde,  with  their  families,  and  many 
other  honest  men.”  Just  what  family  Bachiler  brought  with  him  is  not  known — 
presumably  his  second  wife  and  his  four  grandsons,  Nathaniel  Bachiler  and  John, 
William  and  Stephen  Samborne.  Apparently  none  of  Bachiler’s  own  children 
came.  The  failure  of  the  “Plough  Company”  compelled  him  to  give  up  his  plan  of 
settling  in  Cambridge,  and  he  accepted  a  call  from  the  church  at  Sagus  (Lynn), 
where  his  son-m-law,  Christopher  Hussey,  then  resided.  On  June  8,  1632,  Bachiler 
commenced  his  ministrations,  baptizing  four  children;  it  is  said  that  when  Thomas 
Newhall,  the  first  white  child  born  in  Lynn,  was  presented  for  baptism  Bachiler 
put  him  aside,  saying,  “I  will  baptize  mine  own  child  first,”  meaning  Stephen 
Hussey,  his  grandson  and  namesake. 

Shortly  after  his  arrival,  Bachiler  came  into  conflict  with  the  authorities,  for  on 
Oct.  3,  1632,  the  general  court  ordered  “that  Mr.  Batchelr  forbear  exercising  his 
guifts  as  a  pastor  or  teacher  publiquely  in  or  pattent,  unless  it  be  to  those  he 
brought  with  him,  for  contempt  of  authority,  and  until  some  scandles  be  removed.” 
By  “scandles”  is  merely  meant  some  report  of  his  utterances  against  the  authorities. 
After  five  months  this  order  was  recalled.  He  was  at  the  conference  of  ministers 
Sept.  17,  1633,  and  again  Dec.  19,  1634.  Early  in  1635  a  general  convention  of  elders 
was  held  in  Lynn  to  discuss  the  quarrel  between  Bachiler  and  an  opposing  faction 
in  his  church,  who  held  that  he  had  no  true  communion.  The  council  agreed  that 
though  not  at  first  installed  in  due  order,  yet  Bachiler  had  a  true  church  there — after 
a  time  peace  was  restored.  On  May  5,  1635,  he  became  a  freeman.  In  January, 
1636,  he  was  summoned  before  the  magistrates,  because,  “coming  out  of  England 
with  6  or  7  persons,  and  having  since  received  in  many  more  at  Sagus;  and  con¬ 
tention  coming  between  him  and  the  greatest  part  of  his  church,  he  desired  dis-

mission  for  himself  and  his  first  members,  which  being  granted,  he,  with  the  said 
six  or  seven  persons,  presently  renewed  their  old  covenant,  intending  to  raise  an¬ 
other  church  in  Sagus ;  whereat  the  most  and  cheefe  of  the  town  being  offended, 
for  that  it  would  cross  their  intention  of  summoning  Mr.  Peter  or  some  other  minis¬ 
ter,  they  complained  to  the  magistrates,  who  forbade  him  to  proceed  in  any  church 
way  until  the  cause  were  considered  by  the  other  ministers.  But  he  refused  to 
desist.  Upon  his  appearance  and  submission,  and  promise  to  remove  out  of  the 
town  within  3  months,  he  was  discharged.” 

In  February,  1636,  Bachiler  moved  to  Ipswich,  the  home  of  John  Winthrop, 
where  he  received  50  acres  of  land,  but,  apparently  discouraged  by  his  troubles  at 
Sagus,  gave  up  the  active  work  of  the  ministry.  This  latter  fact  was  mentioned  in 
a  letter  of  the  period  from  a  Puritan  minister  in  England,  as  a  result  of  the  rigid 
and  bigoted  spirit  in  New  England,  which  deterred  many  from  coming  to  this 
country. 

Early  in  1638,  in  the  winter  time,  Bachiler  tried  to  form  a  settlement  near 
Yarmouth  on  Cape  Cod,  where  his  Wing  grandchildren  lived;  and  walked  there 
from  Ipswich.  But,  says  Winthrop,  “He  and  his  company  being  poor  men,  gave  it 
over,  and  others  undertook  it.”  In  the  spring  of  1638  he  removed  to  Newbury, 
where  his  son-in-law,  Hussey,  and  his  connection,  Mr.  Richard  Dummer,  were 
living.  The  latter  had  come  into  conflict  wnth  the  “powers  that  be,”  having  been 
one  of  those  disarmed  a  year  before  because  of  his  adherence  to  the  forbidden  opin¬ 
ions  of  Anne  Hutchinson. 

Few  men,  at  79  years  of  age,  would  undertake  to  start  a  new  settlement  in  the 
wilderness,  especially  after  33  years  of  conflict,  but  such  was  the  determined 
nature  of  Stephen  Bachiler.  No  better  spot  could  have  been  chosen  than  the  site  of 
Hampton,  N.  H.,  comprising,  as  it  did,  both  fertile  farm  lands  and  wide  stretches 
of  salt  and  fresh  meadows.  Bachiler  had  visited  it  before  September,  1638,  and  in 
that  month  had  petitioned  the  General  Court  for  leave  to  begin  a  plantation  there. 
On  October  9,  1638,  writing  to  Governor  Winthrop,  and  asking  him  and  Mr.  Brad- 
street  to  accompany  the  little  band  of  settlers,  he  says,  "We  were  there  and 
viewed  it  cursorily  and  we  found  a  reasonable  meet  jAace,  which  we  shall  shew 
you.”  Bachiler’s  fellow  petitioners  and  settlers  were  mostly  from  the  counties  of 
Hampshire  and  Wiltshire,  among  them  one  or  two  of  his  old  parishioners  in  Eng¬ 
land,  but  there  were  also  some  from  Norfolk  and  Suffolk. 

June  7,  1639,  Winnicunnet  was  made  a  town,  and  in  the  fall  the  name  was 
changed  to  Hampton,  at  the  request  of  Bachiler,  and  in  honor  of  the  city  of  Southamp¬ 
ton,  then  commonly  called  Hampton,  with  which  the  Bachiler  family  was  associated. 
Stephen  Bachiler  was  thus  the  founder  and  father  of  Hampton,  the  third  settlement 
in  New  Hampshire,  and  for  years  the  principal  town  in  that  colony.*  He  received  a 
grant  of  300  acres  from  the  town,  gave  a  bell  for  their  church,  and  bound  up  his 
fortunes  with  the  new  .settlement.  In  1639,  Ipswich  promised  him  a  large  grant  if 
he  would  settle  with  them,  but  he  refused.  About  this  time,  Hampton  received  a 
considerable  influx  of  new  settlers,  many  of  them  from  Norfolk  and  Suffolk — and  a 
Suffolk  clergyman,  Timothy  Ualton,  was  associated  with  Bachiler  in  the  ministry,  as 
teacher  and  curate.  From  this  time  dated  a  long  period  of  strife  in  the  Hampton 
church.  Dalton  was  30  years  younger  than  Bachiler,  educated,  a  sizar  at  St. 
John’s,  Cambridge,  and  had  brought  with  him  many  of  his  old  parishioners.  He 
was  politic,  active,  and  an  earnest  adherent  of  the  plans  of  Massachusetts. 

But  little  definite  record  is  left  us  of  the  conflict  between  pastor  and  teacher ; 
the  town  records  are  mute,  and  the  church  records  are  missing.  Winthrop’s  History 
contains  little  of  value  concerning  it,  and  is  mainly  responsible  for  preserving  the 
slander  which  it  is  now  thought  Dalton  and  his  party  manufactured  out  of  the  whole 
cloth.  Judge  Batchelder,  in  refuting  this  falsehood,  calls  attention  to  the  fact  that 
no  definite  charge  was  ever  brought,  and  that  no  investigation  was  made,  although 
Bachiler  earnestly  and  publicly  entreated  it.  In  Bachiler's  letter  to  Winthrop  he 
charges  Dalton  with  “having  don  all  and  ben  the  cause  of  all  the  dishonor  that  hath 
accrewed  to  God,  shame  to  myself,  and  greefe  to  all  God’s  people  by  his  irregular 
proceeding  and  abuse  of  the  power  of  the  church  in  his  hand,  the  main  part  cleav¬ 
ing  to  him  being  his  countrymen  and  acquaintaince  in  old  England.  The  Teachers 

^Thomas  I.  Biichelder,  of  Little  Hoars  Head,  X.  H.,  writes  to  the  author  o£  this  work  as 
follows;  “As  to  the  old  furniture,  I  have  a  bureau  of  solid  white  oak;  a  chair  white  oak  also. 
It  is  framed  toffather  and  pined  with  wooden  pins,  and  there  is  not  a  nail  in  it.  Then  I  have  a 
small  trunk,  about  two  feet  by  four  inches  wide,  with  the  date  on  the  top,  ‘16!)4,’  put  on  with 
brass-headded  nails.  As  to  the  contribution  box,  it  is  of  oak  and  is  twelve  inches  long  and  four 
in  wide,  and  was  carved  very  handsome.  .Mso  the  chair  is  carved  also.  There  is  also  .A  Town 
book  at  Hampton,  where  Stephen  Bachiler  did  town  business.”

excommunicating  of  me  would  prove  the  foulest  matter,  both  for  the  cause  alleged 
and  the  impulsive  cause  (even  wrath  and  revenge).”  Winthrop’s  account  censures 
Dalton,  ‘‘who  indeed  had  not  carried  himself  in  this  cause  so  well  as  became  him  and 
acknowledged  it.”  In  1643,  the  magistrates,  to  whom  the  case  was  referred, 
removed  the  excommunication,  but  did  not  restore  Bachiler  to  his  pastoral  office. 
To  show  the  general  belief  in  Bachiler’s  innocence,  while  the  evil  report  was  still 
rife,  two  neighboring  towns.  Casco  on  the  north  and  Exeter  on  the  west,  called  him 
to  be  their  minister;  he  at  once  set  their  calls  before  the  magistrates,  saying  that  he 
wished  to  accept  neither  until  he  had  a  full  hearing  in  his  case  against  Dalton.  The 
magistrates,  in  reply,  merely  advised  him  to  leave  Hampton,  and  he  accepted  the 
call  to  Exeter;  but,  as  this  was  within  the  jurisdiction  claimed  by  the  Massachu¬ 
setts  authorities,  they  were  unwilling  to  have  so  troublesome  an  opponent  within  their 
bounds,  and,  in  1644,  the  court  ordered  the  Exeter  people,  on  account  of  their 
divisions  and  contentions,  to  defer  gathering  a  church.  Winthrop  adds  that  ‘‘Mr. 
Bachiler  had  been  in  three  places  before,  and  through  his  means,  as  was  supposed, 
the  churches  fell  into  such  divisions  that  no  peace  could  be  till  he  was  removed.” 
Bachiler,  who  had  declined  the  call  to  Casco  and  prepared  to  settle  in  Exeter,  re¬ 
mained  in  Hampton,  the  troubles  growing  more  bitter,  Hampton  had  paid  him  no 
salary,  and  he  petitioned  the  General  Court  for  some  allowance,  but  they  refused 
to  step  in,  leaving  him  to  sue  through  the  District  Court.  July  15,  1644,  Winthrop 
says,  ‘‘The  contentions  in  Hampton  were  grown  to  a  great  height,  the  whole  town 
w’as  divided  into  two  factions,  one  with  Mr.  Bachiler,  their  late  pastor,  and  the 
other  with  Mr.  Dalton,  their  teacher,  both  men  very  passionate  and  wanting 
discretion  and  moderation.” 

Just  before  this  time,  Bachiler’s  troubles  increased;  his  wife  died,  and  his 
house  and  library,  ‘‘to  the  valleu  of  ^^200,”  were  burned.  Disheartened,  he  sold 
his  land  in  Hampton  and  moved  to  Portsmouth,  where  he  became  a  private  resi¬ 
dent,  though  still  preaching  occasionally.  He  hired  a  ‘‘good  neighbour”  as  his 
housekeeper,  and,  in  1648,  at  88  years  of  age,  he  married  her.  The  match  proved 
most  disastrous;  in  1650  she  was  convicted  of  adultery  with  one  Rogers,  and  sen¬ 
tenced  to  be  publicly  whipped  and  branded  with  the  letter  “A.”  Bachiler  sued  for 
divorce,  but  was  met  with  the  atrocious  order  that  he  ‘  ‘and  his  wife  shall  live  together 
as  man  and  wife,  as  in  this  Corte  they  have  professed  to  do;  and  if  either  desert 
the  other  the  marshall  shall  apprehend  both  and  bring  them  to  Boston,  to  be  kept 
until  the  next  Corte.”  The  only  explanation  for  this  order  is  the  determination  to 
make  impossible  Bachiler’s  remaining  in  the  Massachusetts  Colony;  the  attempt 
was  successful.  About  1654,  accompanied  by  his  grandchild  and  godson,  Stephen 
Samborne,  Bachiler  left  the  New  World,  from  which  he  had  hoped  so  much,  to  end 
his  days  quietly  in  England,  where  Cromwell  and  the  Puritans  held  sway.  His 
last  act  was  to  convev  his  American  estate  to  his  son-in-law,  Hussey.  ‘‘April  8, 
1673.  Edward  Colcord,  of  Hampton,  aged  56,  and  Wm.  Fifield,  of  Hampton,  testify 
that  when  Mr.  Stephen  Bacheller,  of  Hampton,  was  upon  his  voyage  to  England, 
they  did  hear  Mr.  Bacheller  say  unto  his  son-in-law,  Mr.  Chr.  Hussey  that  in  consn 
the  said  Hussey  had  little  or  nothing  from  him  with  his  daughter  which  was  then 
married  to  the  said  Hussey,  also  in  consn  that  this  said  son  Hussey  &  his  wife  had 
been  helpful  unto  him  both  formerly  &  in  fitting  him  for  his  voyage,  &  for  other 
considerations,  he  did  give  to  the  said  Hussey  all  his  estate  consisting  in  cattell, 
household  goods  &  debts,  for  which  his  aforesaid  give  he  also  gave  a  deed  in  writ¬ 
ing  &  delivered  a  copy  thereof  to  the  said  Hussey.” 

In  1654,  Bachiler’s  children  and  grandchildren  were  well  established  in  Eng¬ 
land,  and  tradition  says  he  spent  his  last  days  in  peace  and  comfort  near  London. 
His  worthless  wife,  in  1656,  spread  a  baseless  report  that  he  “‘took  to  himself 
another  wife,”  but  as  this  is  the  only  source  from  which  the  story  comes,  we  may 
well  believe  it  false. 

The  last  record  of  this  long  and  stormy  career  is  contained  in  the  following: 
‘‘The  ancient  Stephen  Bachiler  of  Hampton  died  at  Hackney,  a  village  and  parish 
in  Middlesex  2  miles  from  London,  in  1660  in  the  looth  year  of  his  age.” 

Perhaps  the  best  proof  of  the  striking  character  of  Stephen  Bachiler  is  the 
belief  of  many  of  his  descendants  that  their  abilities  are  derived  from  him.  Daniel 
Webster  so  believed,  and  also  William  Batchelder  Greene. 

[Mr.  Sanborn  is  the  author  of  the  Sanborn  Genealogy,  which  was  published  a 
short  time  ago,  and  upon  which  he  is  now  at  work  revising  and  receiving  additional 
data  for  an  enlarged  work.  He  has  visited  England  and  made  quite  an  extensive 
investigation  in  relation  to  the  subject  of  this  sketch. — F.  C.  P.]

REV.  STEPHEN  BACHILER,  OF  LYNN 

(From  the  History  of  Lynn.) 

Among  the  early  settlers  of  Lynn  were  some  persons  of  high  reputation,  and 
most  of  them  appeared  to  have  been  men  of  good  character  and  of  comfortable 
property.  There  is  no  evidence  that  any  of  them  had  abandoned  the  church,  or 
been  persecuted  for  their  opinions,  with  the  exception  of  the  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler, 
and  the  few  persons  in  his  connection. 

Governor  Winthrop,  who  came  over  with  them,  begins  his  journal  on  “Easter 
Monday,’’  which  Mr.  Savage  says  was  “duly  honored and  it  is  not  until  nearly 
five  years  after,  that  we  catch  a  glimpse  of  his  Puritanism,  which  he  begins  to  date 
on  “eleventh  month.” 

If  all  the  inhabitants  of  Lynn,  excepting  Mr.  Bachiler  and  his  six  adherents, 
were  Episcopalians,  how  happened  it  that  they  at  once  zealously  lent  him  their  aid 
in  forming  the  church  here?  Good  churchmen  would  as  soon  have  thought  of 
fraternizing  with  Hugh  Peters  as  Mr.  Bachiler.  His  ardent  temperament  and 
remembered  wrongs  led  him  to  manifest  such  envenomed  opposition  to  the  church 
that  it  is  not  clearly  seen  how  her  devout  children  could  have  been  attracted  to  his 
fold. 

1632.  For  the  first  three  years  the  people  of  Lynn  had  no  minister,  but  some 
of  them  attended  church  at  Salem,  and  others  had  meetings  for  prayer  and  exhorta¬ 
tion.  The  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler,  with  his  family,  arrived  at  Boston  on  Thursday, 
5  June,  after  tedious  passage  of  eighty-eight  days.  He  came  in  the  ship  William 
and  Francis,  Capt.  Thomas,  which  sailed  from  London,  9  March.  He  immediately 
came  to  Lynn,  where  his  daughter  Theodate,  wife  of  Christopher  Hussey,  resided. 
He  was  seventy-one  years  of  age.  In  his  company  were  six  persons  who  had  be¬ 
longed  to  a  church  with  him  in  England ;  and  of  these  he  constituted  a  church  at 
Lynn,  to  which  he  admitted  such  as  desired  to  become  members,  and  commenced 
the  exercise  of  public  ministrations  on  Sunday,  8  June,  without  installation.  He 
baptized  four  children,  born  before  his  arrival;  two  of  whom,  Thomas  Newhall  and 
Stephen  Hussey,  were  born  the  same  week.  Thomas,  being  the  first  white  child 
born  in  Lynn,  was  first  presented,  but  Mr.  Bachiler  put  him  aside,  saying,  “I  will 
baptize  my  own  child  first,”  meaning  his  daughter’s. 

Mr.  Bachiler  had  been  in  the  performance  of  his  pastoral  about  four  months, 
when  a  complaint  was  made  of  some  irregularities  in  his  conduct.  He  was  arraigned 
before  the  court  at  Boston,  on  the  3rd  of  October,  when  the  following  order  was 
passed:  “Mr.  Bachiler  is  required  to  forbear  exercising  his  giftes  as  a  pastor  or 
teacher  publiquely  in  our  patient,  unlesse  it  be  to  those  he  brought  with  him,  for 
his  contempt  of  authority,  and  until  some  scandal  be  removed.”  This  was  the 
commencement  of  a  series  of  difficulties  which  agitated  the  unhappy  church  for 
several  years.*  In  the  course  of  a  few  months,  Mr.  Bachiler  had  so  far  succeeded 
in  regaining  the  esteem  of  the  people  that  the  court,  on  the  4th  March,  removed 
their  injunction  that  he  should  not  preach  in  the  colony,  and  left  him  at  liberty  to 
resume  the  performance  of  his  public  services. 

1636.  Mr.  Bachiler  had  been  readily  dismissed  from  his  pastoral  charge,  in  ex¬ 
pectation  that  he  would  desist  from  its  exercise,  or  remove  from  the  town;  instead 
of  which,  he  renewed  his  covenant  with  the  persons  who  came  with  him  from  Eng¬ 
land,  intending  to  continue  his  ministration.  The  people  opposed  this  design,  as 
its  tendency  would  be  to  frustrate  their  intention  of  settling  another  minister;  they 
therefore  complained  to  the  magistrates,  who  forbade  his  proceeding.  Finding 
that  he  disregarded  their  injunction,  and  refused  to  appear  before  them,  they  sent 
the  marshal  to  compel  him.  He  was  brought  before  the  Court  of  Assistants,  at 
Boston,  in  January,  and  was  discharged  on  engaging  to  leave  the  town  within  three 
months.  Whoever  has  attentively  read  the  lives  of  the  early  ministers  of  New  Eng¬ 
land,  as  written  by  the  Rev.  Gotten  Mather,  must  have  noticed  that  they  are  all 
represented  to  have  been  men  of  uncommon  learning,  piety  and  worth.  This  may 
be  imputed  partly  to  the  embellishments  of  his  pen,  and  partly  to  the  fact  that  they

were  born  and  educated  in  the  bosom  of  the  church,  and  the  best  universities  of 
Europe.  We  are  greatly  indebted  to  Mr.  Mather  for  his  account  of  those  ministers ; 
but  we  should  have  been  far  more  grateful  to  him,  if  he  had  been  more  particular 
with  regard  to  dates  and  facts  respecting  the  subjects  of  his  biography,  instead  of 
devoting  so  much  time  and  space  to  the  worthies  of  Greece  and  Rome ;  for  we  could 
easily  have  presumed  his  acquaintance  with  ancient  history  and  the  classics,  without 
so  ostentatious  a  display  of  it.  In  his  life  of  Mr.  Gobbet,  he  has  given  us  but  one 
date  with  certainty — the  rest  had  been  supplied  by  my  laborious  research.  Mr. 
Bachiler  he  did  not  notice,  and  the  following  short  sketch  of  his  life  is  the  first 
which  has  ever  been  offered  to  the  public.  The  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler  was  born  in 
England,  in  the  year  1561,  and  received  orders  in  the  established  church.  In  the 
early  part  of  his  life  he  enjoyed  a  good  reputation,  but  being  dissatisfied  with  some 
of  the  ceremonies  of  the  church,  and  refusing  to  continue  his  conformity,  he  was 
deprived  of  his  permission  to  perform  her  services.  The  church  has  been  much 
censured  for  her  severity,  and  all  uncharitableness  and  persecutions  are  to  be  depre¬ 
cated;  but  in  simply  ejecting  her  ministers  for  nonconformity,  after  they  had  ap¬ 
proved  her  mode  of  worship,  and  in  the  most  solemn  manner  possible  engaged 
themselves  in  her  service,  the  church  is  no  more  censurable  than  all  other  communi¬ 
ties,  with  whom  the  same  practice  is  common.  On  leaving  England,  Mr.  Bachiler 
went  with  his  family  ro  Holland,  where  he  resided  several  years.  He  ihen  re¬ 
turned  to  London,  from  which  place  he  sailed,  on  the  9th  of  March,  1632,  for  New 
England.  He  arrived  at  Lynn  on  the  Cth  of  June,  having  in  his  company  six  per¬ 
sons,  his  relatives  and  friends,  who  had  belonged  to  his  church  in  Holland.  With 
them,  and  the  few  who  united  with  them,  he  constituted  a  little  church  at  Lynn, 
without  any  of  the  ceremonies  usual  on  such  occasions.  He  continued  his  ministra¬ 
tions  here  for  about  three  years,  with  repeated  interruptions,  but  he  never  had  the 
support  or  the  affections  of  the  great  body  of  the  people.  He  was  admitted  a  free¬ 
man  on  the  6th  of  May,  1635',  and  removed  from  Lynn  in  February,  1636.  He  went 
first  to  Ipswich,  where  he  received  a  grant  of  fifty  acres  of  land,  and  had  the  pros¬ 
pect  of  a  settlement;  but  some  difficulty  having  arisen,  he  left  the  place.  In  the 
very  cold  winter  of  1637,  he  went  on  foot  with  some  of  his  friends  to  Yarmouth,  a 
distance  of  about  one  hundred  miles.  There  he  intended  to  plant  a  town  and 
establish  a  church,  but  finding  the  difficulties  great,  and  “his  company  being  all 
poor  men,”  he  relinquished  the  design.  He  then  went  to  Newbury,  where,  on  the 
6th  of  July,  1638,  the  town  made  him  a  grant  of  land.  On  the  6th  of  September,  the 
general  court  granted  him  permission  to  settle  a  town  at  Hampton.  In  1639,  the 
inhabitants  of  Ipswich  voted  to  give  him  sixty  acres  of  upland  and  twenty  acres  of 
meadow,  if  he  would  reside  there  three  years ;  but  he  did  not  accept  their  invitation. 
On  the  5th  of  July,  he  and  Christopher  Hussey  sold  their  houses  and  lands  in  New¬ 
bury  for  six  score  pounds  and  removed  to  Hampton.  There  a  town  was  planted 
and  a  church  gathered,  of  which  Mr.  Bachiler  became  the  minister.  The  town 
granted  him  three  hundred  acres  of  land,  and  he  presented  them  with  a  bell  for  the 
meeting  house  in  1640.  Here  he  was  treated  with  respect,  and  in  1641  he  was  ap¬ 
pointed  umpire  in  a  case  of  real  estate  between  George  Cleves  and  John  Winter. 
Dissensions,  however,  soon  commenced,  and  the  people  were  divided  between  him 
and  his  colleague.  Rev.  Timothy  Dalton.  He  was  accused  of  irregular  conduct, 
which  is  thus  related  by  Governor  Winthrop. 

‘‘Mr.  Bachiler,  the  pastor  of  the  church  at  Hampton,  who  had  suffered  much  at 
the  hands  of  the  bishops  in  England,  being  about  eighty  years  of  age,  complained 
to  the  magistrates  against  a  woman  and  her  husband  for  slandering  him.  Soon 
after,  his  house  took  fire  and  was  consumed,  with  nearly  all  his  property.  In  1643 
he  was  restored  to  the  communion,  but  not  to  the  office  of  minister.  In  1644,  the 
people  of  Exeter  invited  to  settle  with  them,  but  the  court  laid  their  injunction. 
In  1647,  he  was  at  Portsmouth,  where  he  resided  three  years.  In  1650,  being  then 
eighty-nine  years  of  age,  and  his  second  wife,  Helen,  being  dead,  he  married  his 
third  wife,  Mary ;  and  in  May  was  fined  ten  pounds  for  not  publishing  the  marriage 
according  to  law,  half  of  which  fine  was  remitted  in  October.” 

Soon  after  this,  Mr.  Bachiler  left  the  country  and  returned  to  England. 

His  wife  in  Hampton  petitioned  the  court,  in  the  following  words,  to  free  her 
from  her  husband : 

‘‘To  the  Honored  Governor,  Deputy  Governor,  with  the  Magistrates  and  Deputies 

at  the  General  Court  at  Boston  : 

“The  humble  petition  of  Mary  Bachiler,  Sheweth — Whereas  your  petitioner, 
having  formerly  lived  with  Mr.  Stephen  Bachiler,  a  minister  of  this  Collany,  as  his 
lawful  wife,  and  not  unknown  to  divers  of  you,  as  I  concieve,  and  the  said  Mr.

Bachiler,  upon  some  pretended  ends  of  his  owne,  hath  transported  himself  into  ould 
England,  for  many  years  since,  and  betaken  himself  to  another  wife,  as  your 
petitioner  hath  often  been  credibly  informed,  and  there  continueth,  whereby  your 
petitioner  is  left  destitute,  not  only  of  a  guide  to  her  and  her  children,  but  also  made 
uncapable  thereby  of  disposing  of  herselfe  in  the  way  of  marriage  to  any  other, 
without  a  lawful  permission ;  and  having  now  two  children  upon  her  hands,  there 
are  chargeable  unto  her,  in  regard  to  a  disease  God  hath  has  been  pleased  to  lay 
upon  them  both,  which  is  not  easily  curable,  and  so  weakening  her  estate  in  prose¬ 
cuting  the  means  of  cure,  that  she  is  not  able  longer  to  subsist,  without  utter  ruin¬ 
ing  her  estate,  or  exposing  herself  to  the  common  charity  of  other  which  your 
petitioner  is  loth  to  put  herself  upon,  if  it  may  be  lawfully  avoided,  as  is  well  known 
to  all,  or  most  part  of  her  neighbors.  And  were  she  free  from  her  engagement  to 
Mr.  Bachiler,  might  probable  soe  dispose  of  herselfe,  as  that  she  might  obtain  a 
meet-helpe  to  assist  her  to  procure  such  means  for  her  livelyhood  and  the  recovery 
of  her  childrens  health,  as  might  keep  them  from  perishing;  which  your  petitioner, 
to  her  grief,  is  much  afraid  of,  if  not  timely  prevented. 

“Your  petitioner’s  humble  request  thereof  is,  that  this  Honored  Court  would  be 
pleased  seriously  to  consider  her  condition,  for  matter  of  her  relief  in  her  freedom 
from  the  said  Mr.  Bachiler,  and  that  she  may  be  at  liberty  to  dispose  of  herselfe  in 
respect  of  any  engagement  to  him,  as  in  your  wisdomes  shall  see  most  expedient; 
and  your  petitioner  shall  humble  pray. — Mary  Bachiler.” 

No  record  appears  that  the  court  took  any  order  on  this  petition ;  nor  are  we 
informed  whether  the  lady  succeeded  to  "Dispose  of  herselfe,”  in  the  manner  which 
she  seems  to  have  had  so  much  at  heart.  It  is  to  be  hoped,  however,  that  her  re¬ 
quest  was  granted,  for  the  woman  had  undoubtedly  suffered  enough  for  her  lapses, 
as  the  reader  will  probably  agree  when  he  shall  have  read  the  sentence,  which  may 
serve  to  clear  up  at  least  one  of  the  mysteries  in  this  strangest  of  all  the  lives  of  our 
early  ministers.  In  the  records  of  York,  on  the  15th  of  October,  1651,  is  the  fol¬ 
lowing  entry. 

“VVe  do  present  George  Rogers  and  Mary  Batcheller,  the  wife  of  Mr.  Stephen 
Bachiler,  minister,  for  adultry.  It  is  ordered  that  Mrs.  Batcheller,  for  adultry, 
shall  recieve  forty  stripes,  save  one,  at  the  first  town  meeting  held  at  Kittery,  6 
weeks  after  her  delivery,  and  be  branded  with  the  letter  A.”  In  the  horrible  bar¬ 
barity  of  this  sentence  we  blush  for  the  severity  of  the  punishment,  rather  than  for 
the  crime.  The  husband  and  his  erring  wife  have  long  since  gone  to  their  last  ac¬ 
count,  and  their  errors  and  follies  must  be  left  to  the  adjustment  of  that  tribunal 
which  we  hope  is  more  merciful  than  the  decisions  of  men.  Mr.  Bachiler  had,  un¬ 
doubtedly,  many  virtues,  or  he  would  not  have  had  many  friends,  and  they  would 
not  have  continued  with  him  through  all  the  changes  of  his  varied  life.  Mr.  Prince 
says  that  he  was  “a  man  of  fame  in  his  day,  a  gentleman  of  learning  and  ingenuity, 
and  wrote  a  fine  and  curious  hand.”  It  was  on  his  separation  from  the  church  at 
Lynn,  with  its  subsequent  misfortune,  that  Edward  Johnson  wrote. 

(In  Morgan’s  Sphere  of  Gentry,  printed  in  1661,  may  be  found  Mr.  Bachiler’s 
coat  of  arms.  It  consists  of  a  plough,  beneath  which  is  a  rising  sun ;  or,  to  use  the 
technical  language  of  heraldry,  vert  a  plough  in  fesse,  and  in  base  the  sun  rising, 
or.  The  author  calls  it  the'coat  of  “Cain,  Adam’s  son,”  and  says  it  “did  appertain 
to  Stephen  Bachelor,  the  first  pastor  of  the  church  of  Ligonia,  in  New  England; 
which  bearing  was  answerable  to  his  profession  in  plowing  up  fallow  ground  of  their 
hearts,  and  the  sun  appearing  in  that  part  of  the  world,  symbolically  alluded  to  his 
motto,  ‘sol  justiti^exoritur.  ’  ”  Does  not  “the  church  of  Ligonia,”  mean  the  church  of 
Lynn — an  attempt  being  made  to  Latinize  the  name  of  the  town?  Another  work  on 
heraldry  gives  the  name  Lavonia,  but  this  is,  no  doubt,  a  misspelling.  Where  the  witty 
old  author  speaks  of  the  plow  as  answering  to  Mr.  Bachiler’s  profession  in  breaking 
up  the  fallow  grounds  of  their  hearts,  he  might  have  passed  on  to  the  sun’s  office  of 
warming  and  rendering  fruitfully  the  broken  ground.  The  author  takes  occasion 
to  note,  here  and  there,  a  comforting  fact  that  seems  to  have  become  suddenly 
established  in  his  mind,  with  or  without  connection  with  the  matter  in  hand. 

Witness  the  following,  which  appears  as  a  marginal  note:  “Women  have 
soules.”  And  this  seems  to  have  been  proved  to  his  satisfaction  by  the  first  tempta¬ 
tion,  for  he  says,  “Had  she  not  had  precious  and  rational  soul  the  Devil  would 
never  have  attempted  her.”  This  is  plausible,  but  it  might  be  argued  that  he  only 
operated  on  her  as  an  instrument  for  the  destruction  of  her  husband  and  he  seems 
inclined  to  give  the  evil  one  more  credit  for  his  sagacity  than  Eve  for  her  integrity, 
by  asking,  “Indeed,  how  could  she  withstand  such  temptation  that  did  intice  her 
to  curiosity  and  pride,  the  common  sin  of  all  their  sex  to  this  day?”

(The  reader's  attention  is  here  solicited  for  a  moment  to  the  singular  spectacle 
brought  to  view  in  the  affairs  ot  Mr.  Bachiler.  While  pastor  of  the  church  at 
Hampton,  he  is  charged  with  unbecoming  conduct,  yet  the  church  at  Exeter, 
knowing  the  fact,  invite  him  to  settle  over  them.  Did  they  discredit  the  charges, 
or  consider  the  offense  not  worth  weighing?  In  1650  he  married  a  woman  who 
proves  to  be  an  adultress,  leaves  her,  and  petitions  for  a  divorce.  This  the  govern¬ 
ment  refuses,  and  going  further,  orders  that  they  “shall  lyve  together  as  man  and 
wife.”  Now  what  is  to  be  thought  of  a  government  that  compels  a  thing  so  revolt¬ 
ing  and  so  unnecessarily  cruel?  From  all  the  circumstances  I  am  led  that  the 
whole  truth  does  not  appear;  that  extenuating  facts  are  concealed;  that  there  was  a 
settled  determination  to  make  his  continuance  here  uncomfortable,  to  say  the  least. 
The  truth  is,  he  had  ventured  to  question  the  right  of  the  civil  authorities’  su¬ 
premacy  in  spiritual  affairs.  And  that  was  enough  to  excite  their  indignation. 
The  proof  of  his  delinquencies,  however,  seems  sufficient.  It  would  be  a  bold  step 
to  attempt  to  discredit  Winthrop;  though  it  may  not  be  unreasonable  to  suggest 
that,  considering  his  ire  towards  those  who  were  inclined  to  anything  like  active 
opposition  to  the  ruling  powers,  he  might  have  been  examined  with  sufficient 
severity  the  slanders  which  Mr.  Bachiler’s  enemies  put  in  circulation.  Not  only  did 
Mr.  Bachiler  oppose  the  incipient  union  of  church  and  state,  but  he  also  espoused 
the  interests  of  New  Hampshire,  when  they  clashed  with  the  assumptions  of  the 
Bay  Colony.  And  that  was  enough  to  bring  a  heavy  load  of  fuel  to  the  fire.  And, 
furthermore,  as  is  well  known,  his  colleague  at  Hampton,  Mr.  Dalton,  was  strongly 
set  in  the  Massachusetts  interest  and  virulently  opposed  to  his  associate.  Mr. 
Bachiler  was  evidently  an  opponent  not  easily  overcome,  was  well  educated ;  an 
adept  in  controversy;  strong  will.  He  was  greatly  sinned  against.  And  he  prob¬ 
ably  had  little  more  sympathy  in  the  colonial  councils  than  Williams,  Hutchinson 
or  Wheelwright.) 

Thomas  Newhall,  the  subject  of  this  sketch,  was  born  in  1630,  and  was  bap¬ 
tized  by  Rev.  Bachiler,  the  first  minister  of  Lynn,  on  the  first  Sunday  after  his 
arrival,  being  June  8,  1632.  A  rather  comical  scene  occurred  at  the  baptism. 
Christopher  Hussey,  who  was  a  son-in-law  of  Mr.  Bachiler,  and  who  probably  in¬ 
duced  the  Rev.  gentleman  to  come  here,  had  a  child,  named  Stephen,  to  be  bap¬ 
tized  at  the  same  time;  and  Mr.  Bachiler,  as  Thomas  was  first  presented  for  the 
holy  rite,  unceremoniously  put  him  aside,  declaring  that  he  should  baptize  Stephen, 
who  appears  to  have  been  named  for  his  Rev.  grandfather,  first.  Mr.  Lewis  seems 
to  have  thought  a  sort  of  family  pride  induced  this  movement,  which  struck  him  as 
an  indignity  toward  Thomas,  but  it  should,  perhaps,  be  viewed  in  the  light  of  a 
compliment.  It  may  have  been  that  Stephen  was  noisy  and  turbulent,  insomuch 
that  the  old  gentleman  was  ashamed  of  him  and  anxious  to  hurry  him  out  of  sight, 
while  Thomas  was  quiet  and  well  behaved.  But  it  is  not  important  to  pursue  the 
inquiry. 


REV.  STEPHEN  BACHILER  AT  SANDWICH. 

(Freeman’s  Cape  Cod.) 

No  other  settlement  on  the  Cape  had,  up  to  this  time,  been  effected;  though  it 
appears  that  as  early  as  August  7  “liberty  was  granted  to  Mr.  Stephen  Hopkins  to 
erect  a  house  at  Mattakeese,  and  cut  hay  there  this  year  to  winter  his  cattle — pro¬ 
vided,  however,  that  it  be  not  to  withdraw  him  from  the  town  of  Plymouth.” 

Again,  September  3,  to  “Gabriel  Wheldon  and  Gregory  Armstrong,  permission 
was  granted  to  go  and  dwell  at  Mattakeese,  and  have  a  lot  there  with  the  consent 
of  the  committees  for  the  place.” 

And  again,  subsequently,  it  is  said,  “The  people  of  Lynn,  having  established  a 
settlement  at  Sandwich,  an  attempt  was  made  from  the  same  quarter  to  establish 
another  at  Mattakeese,  ”  (Yarmouth.)  Foremost  in  this  work  was  “the  Rev. 
Stephen  Bachiler,  the  late  pastor  of  Lynn,  who,  at  the  advanced  age  of  76,  traveled 
the  whole  distance  from  Lynn  to  Mattakeese,  more  than  one  hundred  miles  at  an 
inclement  season  of  the  year,  on  foot.”  The  company  with  which  Mr.  Batcheler 
was  associated  encountered  many  difficulties,  and  the  undertaking  was,  therefore, 
soon  abandoned  by  them,  to  be  resumed,  however,  by  others,  in  due  time. 

The  first  permanent  settlement  of  Yarmouth,  next  to  that  of  Sandwich,  com-

menced  in  the  summer  of  1639,  and  its  incorporation,  as  will  be  seen,  soon  followed. 
The  northern  part  of  this  settlement  was  Mattakeese;  the  northeastern  part, 
Hockanon.  Yet  another  part  of  the  the  territory  of  the  ancient  Yarmouth  was 
Sursuit,  which,  soon  after  becoming  better  known,  invited  valuable  incessions  to  the 
township,  also  in  that  direction. 

Mr.  Bachelor  arrrived  in  Boston  June  5,  1632,  then  71  years  of  age.  He  was 
soon  established  at  Saugus,  since  called  Lynn.  The  life  of  this  aged  man  in  Amer¬ 
ica  was  “one  constant  scene  of  turbulence,  disappointment  and  accusation.”  As 
early  as  1632,  he  was  required  by  the  Massachusetts  court  to  forbear  exercising  his 
gifts  as  pastor  and  teacher  publicly  in  our  patent,  unless  it  be  to  ihose  he  brought 
with  him,  for  his  contempt  of  authority,  and  until  some  scandal  be  remov'ed.  The 
court  removed  this  inhibition  May  4,  1633.  Governor  Winthrop  says:  “He  was 
convented  before  the  magistrates.  The  cause  was,  for  that  coming  out  of  England 
with  a  small  body  of  six  or  seven  persons,  and  having  since  received  in  many  more 
at  Saugus,  and  contention  growing  between  him  and  the  greater  part  of  his  church, 
who  had,  with  the  rest,  received  him  as  their  pastor,  he  desired  a  dismission  for 
himself  and  his  first  members,  which  being  granted  on  the  supposition  that  he 
woud  leave  the  town  as  he  had  given  out,  he,  with  the  six  or  seven  persons,  presently 
renewed  their  old  covenant  intending  to  raise  another  church  in  Saugus,  whereat 
the  most  and  chief  of  the  town  being  offended,  for  that  it  would  cross  their  inten¬ 
tions  of  calling  Mr.  Peters,  or  some  other  minister,  they  complained  to  the  magis¬ 
trates,  who,  foreseeing  the  distraction  that  would  come  from  this  course,  had 
forbidden  him  to  proceed  in  any  such  church  way,  until  the  cause  were  considered 
by  the  other  ministers,  &c.  But  he  refused  to  desist;  whereupon  they  sent  for  him, 
and,  after  his  delay  day  after  day,  the  marshall  was  sent  to  fetch  him.  Upon  his 
appearance  and  submission,  and  promise  to  move  out  of  the  town  within  three 
months,  he  was  discharged.”  After  he  left  Mattakeese  he  went  to  Newbury.  In 
1641  he  was  pastor  of  the  church  at  Hampton.  He  was  finally  excommunicated, 
when  80  years  old.  After  two  years,  the  sentence  of  excommunication  was  re¬ 
moved,  but  he  was  still  forbidden  as  a  minister.  In  Hampton,  there  were  conten¬ 
tions  between  him  and  his  elder,  Dalton,  until  1644,  both  having  their  parties.  He 
was  then  called  to  Exeter,  but  his  settlement  there  was  prevented  by  the  express 
interference  of  the  court.  He  died  at  the  age  of  90  years. 

The  Indian  Mattakeese,  we  have  already  intimated,  extended  some  distance 
within  the  present  limits  of  East  Barnstable.  That  part  of  Mattakeese  where  the 
settlement  commenced  was  within  the  present  bounds  of  Yarmouth. 

Since  known  as  East  Dennis;  about  seven  or  eight  miles  distant  from  the 
former. — Freeman’s  Cape  Cod. 


REV.  STEPHEN  BACHILER  AT  HAMPTON. 

(History  of  Hampton,  N.  H.) 

The  ancient  town  of  Hampton,  New  Hampshire,  embraced  a  large  territory  lying 
along  the  coast  between  Salisbury,  Massachusetts,  on  the  south,  and  Portsmouth, 
or  the  lower  Piscataqua  settlement  on  the  north;  and  extending  from  the  Atlantic 
Ocean  westward,  about  six  miles  to  Squamscott  Patent  (Stratham)  and  Exeter,  and 
along  the  southerly  side  of  the  latter  town,  ten  or  twelve  miles  farther;  the  westerly 
line  running  thence  southerly  to  the  boundary  between  Salisbury  (now  Amesbury) 
and  Haverhill,  Massachusetts.  The  whole  area  is  not  less  than  one  hundred  square 
miles. 

In  the  autumn  of  1638,  Winnacunnet  (Hampton)  remaining  still  unsettled,  and 
the  time  allowed  to  the  inhabitants  of  Newbury  for  removal  hither  having  nearly 
expired,  a  petition,  signed  by  Stephen  Bachiler  and  others,  was  presented  to  the 
General  Court,  asking  leave  to  settle  here.  Their  prayer  was  granted.  The 
record  stands  thus: 

“The  Court  grants  that  the  petitioners,  Mr.  Steven  Bachiler,  Christo:  Hussey, 
Mary  Hussey,  Vidua,  Thom:  Cromwell,  Samuel  Skullard,  John  Osgood,  John 
Crosse,  Samu:  Greenfield,  John  Molton,  Tho:  Molton,  Willi:  Estow,  Willi:  Palmer, 
Willi:  Sergant,  Richrd  Swayne,  Willi:  Sanders,  Robrt  Tucke,  wth  divers  others, 
shall  have  liberty  to  begin  a  plantation  at  Winnacunnet  and  Mr.  Bradstreete,  Mr. 
Winthrop,  Jr.,  and  Mr.  Rawson,  or  some  two  of  them,  are  to  assist  in  setting  out

the  place  of  the  towne,  and  apportioning  the  severall  quantity  of  land  to  each  man, 
so  as  nothing  shal  bee  done  therein  vvthout  leave  from  them,  or  two  of  them.”  The 
above  grant  was  made  some  time  during  the  session  of  the  General  Court,  that  was 
commenced  September  6,  163S;  but  as  all  the  acts  of  the  session  bear  this  date,  it 
maj-  not  be  possible  to  determine  the  very  day  on  which  the  grant  was  made.  Its 
place  on  the  records — it  being  the  second  entry — indicates  that  it  was  made  very 
early  in  the  session.  An  entrj’  on  the  records  of  Hampton,  in  the  handwriting  of 
one  "of  the  grantees,  Rev.  Steven  Bachiler,  assigns  as  the  date,  the  seventh  of  the 
eighth  month,  that  is,  October;  but,  as  that  day  was  the  Sabbath,  it  must  be  pre¬ 
sumed  that  some  error  has  crept  into  the  record,  which  possibly  should  read  8:  7 
mo.,  that  is,  the  Sth  of  September — a  more  probable  date,  it  being  two  days 
from  the  opening  of  the  session. 

From  a  brief  entry  on  the  records  of  the  First  Church  in  Hampton,  made  by  one 
of  its  pastors  a  hundred  years  after  the  settlement  was  formed,  it  appears  to  have 
been  the  tradition  at  that  time  that  the  14th  of  October  was  the  date  of  its 
origin.  If  such  were  then  the  belief,  it  may  reasonably  be  considered  as  correct. 
Several  persons  were  then  living,  whose  parents  were  among  the  first  inhabitants, 
and  a  still  larger  number,  who  remembered  some  of  the  settlers,  and,  in  all  proba¬ 
bility,  had  heard  them  relate  the  time  and  circumstances  of  the  settlement.  That 
the  14th  of  October  was  the  exact  date,  there  is,  indeed,  no  positive  proof;  but 
circumstantial  evidence  has,  within  a  few  years,  been  found,  in  the  discovery  of  a 
letter,  in  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler’s  own  handwriting,  which  proved  conclusively  that 
the  intention,  at  least,  declared  wdthin  a  week  of  that  date,  was  to  begin  the  settle¬ 
ment  on  the  14th  of  October;  and  there  is  no  reason  to  suppose  that  the  plan  was 
not  carried  out.  The  letter  is  as  follows : 

■'To  my  worshipful  friend,  John  Winthrop,  Esq.,  at  his  house  in  Ipswich,  these: 

Worthy  Sir,  I  commend  me  to  you  &  yours  in  the  Lord,  So  it  is,  that  we  are 
resolved  (God  so  consenting)  the  second  working  day  of  the  next  weeke  to  set  for¬ 
ward  towards  our  plantation,  preparing  thereto  the  day  before.  We  intend  to  go 
by  a  shallop,  so  that  as  we  hope  and  desire  to  have  your  helpe  and  our  Christian 
friend’s  Mr.  Bradstreete ;  so  we  pray  you  both  to  be  ready  to  accompany  vs,  the 
day  following:  We  were  there  &  vewed  it  cursoryly  and  we  found  a  reasonable 
meet  place,  which  we  shall  shew  you;  but  we  concluded  nothing.  I  pray  3mu 
acquaint  Mr.  Bradstreete  with  our  desire  &  purpose,  that  we  may  lay  some  founda¬ 
tion  &  the  better  by  your  helpe  &  assistance. 

The  Lord’s  good  eye  be  ever  upon  you  &  yours,  &  so  I  rest  in  him  that  is 
alsufficient.  Yours  in  all  Christian  office  &  service, 

his  most  unworthy 

This  g,  of  this  Sth  month,  1638.  Stephen  Bachiler.” 

In  the  early  part  of  the  year  1639,  a  considerable  accession  was  made  to  the 
number  of  Hampton  inhabitants.  With  this  new  band  of  settlers  came  Mr.  Tim¬ 
othy  Dalton,  who  was  soon  associated  with  Mr.  Bachiler,  the  pastor  of  the  church,  in 
the  work  of  the  ministry.  In  the  course  of  the  year  the  number  of  families  had 
increased  to  about  sixty. 

During  the  next  fall  session  of  the  General  Court,  the  Indian  name,  by  which 
the  town  had  hitherto  been  called,  was  exchanged  for  the  one  that  it  has  ever 
since  borne.  The  brief  record  of  the  act  is  in  these  words:  "Winnacunnet  shal 
bee  called  Hampton.” 

As  briefly  is  it  stated  in  the  town  records,  that  this  change  was  made  “at  Mr. 
Bachiler’s  request.”  About  the  same  time,  through  the  influence  of  John  Moulton, 
the  first  deputy  to  the  General  Court,  the  right  of  disposing  of,  and  laying  out  the 
land,  was  vested  in  the  town.  The  people  were  now  m  full  possession  of  town 
powers  and  privileges. 

Change  of  name. — Here  let  us  pause  to  inquire  the  reason  of  the  change  of 
name,  from  Winnacunnet  to  Hampton.  The  following  extract  from  a  letter,  written 
by  Hon.  Charles  E.  Batchelder,  of  Portsmouth,  is  of  much  interest  in  this  connec¬ 
tion,  and  affords,  at  least,  circumstantial  evdience.  Under  date  January  27,  iSgo, 
he  writes: 

“Why  was  the  name,  Hampton,  given  to  the  new  settlement  north  of  the  Merri- 
mac?  The  record  says  the  name  was  given  at  the  request  of  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler. 
I  have  often  wondered  what  connection  there  was  between  the  new  Hampton  and 
the  old  Hampton  in  England.  I  think  I  discovered  the  reason  in  my  trip  to  Eng¬ 
land  this  last  summer.  The  last  settlement  of  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler  in  England 
was  at  South  Stoneham,  at  St.  Mary’s  Church.  This  church  is  a  dependency  of  St.

Mary’s  Church,  Southampton,  and  the  latter  church  presents  the  living  of  the  South 
Stoneham  church  to  such  incumbent  as  they  choose. 

"The  common  name  of  Southampton  in  1630  was  Hampton,  as  can  be  seen  by 
Governor  Winthrop  calling  it  Hampton  in  his  history  of  New  England.  The 
'South’  is  said  to  have  been  added  at  a  comparatively  late  date  to  distinguish  this 
Hampton  from  Hampton  in  Middlesex.  The  name  is  said  to  be  derived  from 
Hantstone,  that  is,  the  stone  of  the  county  Hants  or  Hampshire.  South  Stoneham 
was  practically  a  suburb  of  the  city  of  Southampton,  being  situated  just  outside  the 
city  limits  on  the  north. 

"This  close  connection  between  South  Stoneham  and  Southampton  and  the 
settlement  of  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler  at  the  former  place  evidently  accounts  for  the 
name  of  our  Hampton;  and  there  may  have  been  a  real  or  fancied  resemblance  to 
Southampton  water  as  the  first  settlers  of  our  Hampton  sailed  up  Hampton  river  in 
a  shallop  when  they  made  their  settlement  there  in  1638.” 

Soon  after  the  settlement  of  Hampton,  a  controversy  arose  with  Salisbury 
about  the  line  between  the  two  towns,  which  was  the  beginning  of  a  controversy 
between  New  Hampshire  and  Massachusetts,  that  vexed  the  colonies  continually 
and  has  but  recently  ended. 

These  towns  were  granted  about  the  same  time,  and  it  was  intended  that  the 
southerly  boundary  of  the  former  should  be  at  the  distance  of  three  miles  north  of 
the  Merrimac  river,  while  the  latter  should  embrace  all  the  territory  between  Hamp¬ 
ton  and  the  river.  At  the  same  session  of  the  General  Court,  in  which  Mr.  Bachiler 
and  his  company  had  obtained  permission  to  form  a  plantation  here,  measures 
were  taken  to  run  out  and  establish  this  line.  The  court  appointed  for  this  purpose 
Goodman  Woodward  and  Mr.  John  Stretton,  who  were  to  be  aided  by  an  Indian, 
probably  as  a  guide,  and  t\70  other  men  to  be  selected  by  the  magistrates  of  Ipswich. 

Not  long  after,  Mr.  Bachiler  received  from  the  town  of  Hampton  a  grant  of  300 
acres  of  land  for  a  farm,  to  be  laid  out  adjoining  to  the  Salisbury  line.  But  from  some 
cause — whether  through  any  fault  of  the  court  committee,  or  of  the  lot-layers  of 
Hampton,  does  not  appear — a  small  portion  of  this  farm  lay  on  the  southerly  side 
of  what  Salisbury  claimed  as  the  true  boundary  of  the  towns.  Perhaps,  however, 
the  difficulty  arose  without  any  fault  of  the  committee  or  lot-layers.  The  Merrimac, 
near  its  mouth,  passes  through  an  extensive  bed  of  sand;  and  its  channel  and  course 
are  often  altered  more  or  less,  through  the  influence  of  storms  and  tides.  From 
change  thus  produced,  this  protracted  controversy  about  the  boundary  lines  may 
have  arisen.  The  subject  was  frequently  brought  to  the  notice  of  the  General 
Court  by  petitions,  sometimes  from  one  of  the  towns  and  sometimes  from  the  other. 

Committees  were  appointed  in  several  instances,  and  sent  out  by  the  court  to 
view  the  line  and  hear  the  statements  of  the  parties ;  but  the  reports  of  the  different 
committees  were  almost  as  discordant  as  the  views  of  the  people  of  the  two  towns. 

The  first  committee  appointed  after  the  settlement  of  the  towns  had  actually 
begun  was  in  1640,  as  already  related.  Both  towns  seemed  to  be  satisfied  with  the 
report  of  this  committee,  as  they  understood  it ,  yet  put  upon  it  so  different  con¬ 
structions  as  to  furnish  matter  of  dispute  for  manj'  years.  Hampton  claimed  a 
■Straight  line  from  the  river’s  mouth  to  the  uppermost  or  southwestern  corner  of 
Mr.  Bachiler’s  farm,  and  Salisbury  contended  that  it  ought  to  run  straight  to  the 
lower,  or  southeastern  corner,  and  then  the  southerly  side  of  the  farm  to  be  the 
line  between  the  towns  from  end  to  end  of  the  farm. 

A  careful  investigation  will  make  it  apparent  that  the  motives  which  led  to 
the  settlement  of  Hampton  w^re  not  merely  nor  mainly  of  a  mercenary  character. 
The  adventurers  who,  in  1623,  settled  on  the  banks  of  the  Piscataqua  may  have  gone 
thither,  as  has  been  said  of  them,  to  fish  and  to  trade.  It  is  equally  true  that  the 
early  inhabitants  of  this  town  engaged  in  fishing  and  in  farming,  if  not  in  trade, 
but  with  the  latter  these  employments  were  resorted  to  for  a  living,  while  their 
chief  aim  was  to  secure  higher  objects  than  the  accumulation  of  wealth.  In  a 
word,  they  were  Puritans  of  a  kindred  spirit  with  the  Pilgrims  of  the  Mayflower. 
They  loved  the  ordinances  of  religion,  and  settled  there  to  enjoy  religious  freedom 
and  the  rights  of  conscience  which  had  been  denied  them  in  the  land  of  their  birth. 

The  practice  of  the  first  settlers  of  the  town  was  in  accordance  with  their  pro¬ 
fessed  principles.  They  brought  with  them  the  ordinances  of  the  gospel ;  for  it  is 
a  matter  of  recbrd,  that  when  the  grant  for  a  plantation  was  made  by  the  General 
Court,  some  of  the  grantees  were  already  “united  together  by  church  government.” 
They  ajso  brought  with  them  a  pastor.  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler,  who  may  justly  be 
regarded  as  the  father  and  founder  of  the  town. 

Mr.  Bachiler  was  born  in  England  about  the  year  1561,  but  at  what  ])lace  is

not  known.  It  is  also  doubtful  where  he  was  educated ;  very  possibly  at  Cambridge, 
where  many  with  whom  he  appears  to  have  been  intimate,  were  known  to  have  been. 
If  the  historians  of  Lynn  are  correct,  he  was  of  (so  called)  gentle  blood;  for  New- 
hall,  in  his  edition  of  Lewis’  history  of  that  town,  states  that,  in  Morgan’s  “Sphere  of 
Gentry”  (16611  is  figured  the  coat-of-arms  of  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler,  as  follows; 
“Vert,  a  plough  in  fesse,  and  in  base,  the  sun  rising,  or.”  This  gives  a  possible 
clew  to  the  interpretation  of  a  letter  written  by  him,  in  1643,  to  the  church  in 
Boston,  which  will  be  noted  presently. 

Mr.  Bachiler  received  orders  in  the  established  church,  but  being  a  reformer, 
and  having  the  courage  of  his  convictions,  he  refused  to  conform  to  some  of  the  cere¬ 
monials  of  the  church,  and  therefore  “suffered  much  at  the  hands  of  the  bishops.” 
He  became  a  Dissenter,  and,  as  a  Dissenter  went,  with  friends  and  followers  to 
Holland.  Now,  if  the  historian  may  be  permitted  to  “read  between  the  lines”  of 
the  letter  above  mentioned,  this  would  be  the  story  of  what  immediately  followed: 
A  company  was  formed,  of  which  Mr.  Bachiler  was  the  acknowledged  leader, 
called,  in  his  honor,  The  Company  of  the  Plough,  intending  to  come  to  New  Eng¬ 
land  in  1630,  and  settle  in  New  Town  (Cambridge).  Mr.  Bachiler  to  “Sit  down 
with  them,”  “not  as  a  planter  only  but  as  a  Pastor  also.”  The  church  was  organ¬ 
ized  and  began  its  existence  in  Holland ;  and  plans  were  so  far  perfected,  that  a 
ship  was  chartered  and  freighted;  but  “upon  the  disaster  which  happened  to  the 
goods  of  the  company,  by  the  false  dealing  of  those  entrusted  by  us  with  the 
Plough’s  ship  and  our  goods  therein,”  perhaps  instigated  by  the  persecuting 
bishops,  all  was  lost  and  the  emigration  delayed.  And  so  it  happened  that  the 
pastor’s  family  returned  to  England,  while  his  daughter,  Theodate,  and  her  hus¬ 
band,  Christopher  Hussey,  both  young  and  ardent,  crossed  the  ocean  to  prepare  a 
resting  place  for  her  aged  father  and  his  church.  This  they  found,  as  they  fondly 
hoped,  in  Saugus  (Lynn). 

The  above  narrative,  though  not  infallible  history,  is  highly  probable ;  but 
what  follows  is  matter  of  record.  Accompanied  by  some  of  his  family,  Mr.  Bachiler 
sailed  from  London  on  the  9th  of  March,  1632,  in  the  William  and  Francis,  and 
arrived  at  Boston  on  the  5th  of  June.  He  went  immediately  to  Lynn,  where  his 
son-in-law,  Christopher  Hussey,  was  already  resident.  There  he  began  his  ministry 
in  New  England,  his  church,  organized  in  Holland,  uniting  with  others  previously 
at  Lynn,  without  asking  permission,  and  without  ceremony. 

Now,  it  must  be  premised,  that  many  of  the  Puritans,  persecuted  in  England, 
fled  to  these  western  shores,  where  they  became  in  turn  persecutors,  as  intolerant 
as  their  enemies  across  the  sea.  The  ministers  and  magistrates  formed  a  religious 
aristocracy,  bigoted  and  domineering.  Mr.  Bachiler,  a  liberal  Puritan,  zealous  for 
popular  rights,  and  possibly  too  independent  in  maintaining  them,  soon  became 
odious  to  this  persecuting  power. 

They  sought  a  quarrel  against  him,  and  found  it  in  the  manner  of  establishing 
his  church.  And  now  the  magistrates  of  the  colony  required  him  “to  forbeare 
exercising  his  guifts  as  a  pastr  or  teacher  publiquely,”  in  Massachusetts,  “unless 
it  be  to  those  hee  brought  with  him ;  for  his  contempt  of  authority,  &  till  some 
scandles  be  removed.”  The  term  scandal  has  been  wrongly  supposed  to  imply  im¬ 
moral  conduct  in  Mr.  Bachiler.  It  was  probably  nothing  more  than  petty  quarrels, 
growing  partly  out  of  his  partiality,  in  baptizing  his  own  grandson  before  another 
child,  born  a  week  earlier. 

This  injunction  was  openly  and  strongly  condemned  by  the  liberal  party,  which 
was  no  inconsiderable  one  in  the  colony,  and  five  months  later  the  magistrates 
felt  compelled  to  rescind  it,  though  it  does  not  appear  that  the  victim  had,  in  the 
meantime,  made  any  acknowledgment  of  fault  to  prepare  the  way  for  such  an  act. 

Mr.  Bachiler  remained  pastor  of  the  church  at  Lynn  till  about  the  close  of  1635. 
The  church  at  that  time  had  been  considerably  enlarged,  and  a  controversy  had 
arisen  between  him  and  a  majority  of  the  members.  The  grounds  of  this  contro¬ 
versy  are  not  stated;  but  as  Mr.  Bachiler  was  an  old  man,  it  is  possible  that  his 
church  may  have  been  desirous  of  obtaining  a  younger  or  a  more  popular  minister. 
The  account  given  by  Governor  Winthrop  seems  to  afford  some  ground  for  this 
supposition.  Mr.  Bachiler  asked  a  dismission  for  himself  and  his  first  members,  six 
or  seven  in  number,  who  had  come  from  England  with  him ;  and  the  church  granted 
it,  supposing  that  they  would  leave  the  town,  for  so  it  was  reported,  Mr.  Bachiler 
had  intimated.  On  being  dismissed,  however,  he  and  his  brethren  immediately 
renewed  their  old  covenant,  intending  to  raise  another  church  there.  At  this  “the 
most  and  chief  of  the  town”  were  offended,  for,  as  Governor  Winthrop  says,  “it 
would  cross  their  intentions  of  calling  Mr.  Peter,  or  some  other  minister.  ”  They

then  complained  to  the  magistrate,  by  whom  he  was  forbidden  “to  proceed  in  any 
such  church  way  until  the  cause  were  considered  by  the  other  ministers,  etc.” 

■  .  But  Mr.  Bachiler  refused  to  desist,  probably  regarding  the  course  of  the  magis¬ 
trates  as  an  unjustifiable  interference  with  his  affairs;  and  this  independence,  both  in 
thinking  and  acting,  may  give  a  clew  to  the  difficulties  that  arose  from  time  to  time 
between  him  and  the  government.  In  this  case,  the  magistrates  “sent  for  him,  and 
upon  his  delay,  day  after  day,  the  marshall  was  sent”  to  convey  him  to  Boston. 
Being  thus  taken  into  custody,  he  submitted  to  the  civil  authority  and  gave  a  “prom¬ 
ise  to  remove  out  of  the  town  within  three  months.  ’  ’  He  was  thereupon  discharged. 

This  account  of  Mr.  Bachiler’s  connection  with  the  church  and  people  of  Lynn 
is  given,  partly  for  the  purpose  of  showing  that  some  of  the  charges  made  against 
him  may  not  have  been  well  founded,  having  originated  in  the  enmity  of  those  who 
made  them ;  and  partly  because  here,  in  the  renewal  of  the  church  covenant  at 
Lynn,  near  the  close  of  the  year  1635,  we  find  the  organization  of  the  Hampton 
church. 

From  Lynn,  Mr.  Bachiler  removed  to  Ipswich.  In  1637,  he  and  his  company 
undertook  to  form  a  settlement  at  Mattakeese  (Yarmouth)  on  Cape  Cod.  Governor 
Winthrop  says  that  he  was  then  “about  76  years  of  age;  yet  he  went  thither  on 
foot  in  a  very  hard  season,”  the  distance  from  Ipswich  being  nearly  one  hundred 
miles.  This  enterprise  was  relinquished  on  account  of  the  poverty  of  the  company, 
and  the  difficulties  that  they  had  to  encounter. 

In  1638,  Mr.  Bachiler  and  some  or  all  of  his  company  were  at  Newbury,  and  in 
the  fall  of  that  year  settled  at  Winnacunnet. 

According  to  tradition,  a  meeting  house  was  built  by  those  who  formed  the 
settlement,  as  soon  as  they  had  provided  log  cabins  for  themselves.  Like  their 
houses,  it  was  undoubtedly  made  of  logs,  but  of  its  form  and  dimensions  we  have 
no  knowledge.  It  was  built  on  the  green — near  where  the  Academy  afterwards 
stood— a  site  occupied  by  a  successions  of  meeting  houses,  till  the  early  part  of  the 
present  century.  The  people  were  called  together  for  public  worship  by  the  ring¬ 
ing  of  a  bell,  as  appears  from  the  following  vote,  passed  at  the  second  town  meeting, 
November  27,  1639:  “Wm.  Samborne  (wth  his  consent)  is  appointed  to  ring  the 
bell  before  the  meetings  on  the  Lord’s  dayes  &  other  dayes,  for  which  he  is  to  have 
fid  pr  lott  of  eury  one  having  a  lott  wthn  the  town.”  The  bell,  which  was  a  pres¬ 
ent  from  the  pastor,  was  probably  hung  on  a  frame  in  the  open  air,  or  suspended 
from  some  tree,  till  another  house  was  built,  which  was  furnished  with  a  tower. 

In  the  spring  of  1639,  Mr.  Timothy  Dalton  was  associated  with  Mr.  Bachiler  in 
the  work  of  his  ministry,  the  latter  holding  the  office  of  pastor,  and  the  former  that 
of  teacher.  The  great  age  of  the  pastor  was  probably  the  reason  for  employing 
another  minister.  But  the  connection  was  not  an  harmonious  one.  Both  of  the 
ministers  were  orthodox  in  sentiment,  but  they  differed  widely  in  practice,  Mr. 
Bachiler  being  open  and  independent,  and  Mr.  Dalton,  in  accord  with  the  magis¬ 
trates  and  elders.  Mr.  Bachiler  was  charged  with  a  morality,  but  whether  justly  or 
unjustly  is  “not  proven. ”  He  was  excommunicated  in  ifi4i,  and  restored  to  the 
church  in  1643,  but  not  to  the  pastoral  office. 

That  he  committed  some  imprudences  is  admitted,  but  as  to  anything  worse,  it 
is  likelier  that  the  old  persecutions  followed  him.  He  himself,  in  the  letter  before 
mentioned,  to  the  church  in  Boston,  complains  bitterly  of  Mr.  Dalton,  in  the  follow¬ 
ing  words:  “I  see  not  how  I  can  depart  hence  till  I  have  (or  (I  mean)  God  for  me) 
cleared  and  vindicated  the  cause  and  wrongs  I  have  suffered  of  the  church  I  live 
yet  in:  that  is  from  the  Teacher  (indeed)  who  hath  don  all  and  ben  the  cause  of  all 
the  dishonorr  that  hath  accrew’d  to  God,  shame  to  myselfe  and  griefe  to  all  God’s 
people,  by  his  irregular  proceedings  and  abuse  of  the  power  of  the  church  in 
his  hand,  by  the  maior  parte  cleaveing  to  him,  being  his  countrymen  and  acquain¬ 
tance  in  old  England.  .  .  .  The  Teacher’s  act  of  his  excommunicating  me 

would  prove  the  foulest  matter,  both  for  the  cause  alleged,  of  that  excommunica¬ 
tion,  and  the  impulsive  cause  (even  wrath  and  revenge)  and  also  the  manner  of  all 
his  proceeding  throughout  to  the  very  end ;  and  lastly  his  keeping  me  still  under 
bonds.”  Probably  there  was  much  hot  temper  on  both  sides.  Each  minister  had 
partisans  and  friends  in  the  town  and  in  the  church ;  but  the  larger  number  favored 
the  teacher.  Mr.  Bachiler  still  remained  in  Hampton,  and  the  difficulties  and  dis¬ 
tractions  among  the  inhabitants  appeared  to  have  increased.  Petitions  and  remon¬ 
strances  in  relation  to  these  difficulties  were  sent  to  the  General  Court  at  the  May 
session,  in  1(144.  The  court  appointed  a  committee  with  power  to  hear  and  deter¬ 
mine  all  matters  in  dispute  among  the  people,  but  the  action  of  the  committee  is 
not  known,  .-kbout  this  time  some  of  the  people  of  Exeter  proposed  to  form  a  new

church  and  invite  Mr.  Bachiler  to  become  their  pardor,  though  he  was  then  more 
than  fourscore  years  of  age.  For  this  purpose,  they  appointed  a  day,  and  gave 
notice  thereof  to  the  magistrates  and  churches.  At  this  juncture  the  General  Court 
interfered;  “whereas,  it  appears  to  this  Crt,  that  some  of  the  inhabitants  of 
Excetter  do  intend  shortly  to  gather  a  church  &  call  Mr.  Bachiler  to  be  their 
Minister  &  foreasmuch  as  the  division  &  contentions  wch  are  amonge  the  inhabi¬

therefore  ordered,  that  directions  shall  be  forthwth  sent  to  the  said  inhabitants  to 
defer  the  gathering  of  any  church,  or  other  such  preceding  until  this  Cort  or  the 
Cort  at  Ipswich  (upon  further  satisfaction  of  their  reconciliation  &  fitness)  shall 
give  allowance  there  unto.”  To  this  order  the  people  of  Exeter  submitted,  and  did 
not  proceed  to  gather  a  church.  Had  the  charges  affecting  the  character  of  Mr. 
Bachiler  been  substantiated,  we  can  hardly  suppose  that  the  people  of  Exeter,  a  town 
adjoining  Hampton,  should  be  unacquajnted  with  the  fact,  or  that,  knowing  the 
fact,  they  would  still  invite  hirh  to  become  their  minister.  It  is  also  worthy  of 
notice  that  in  the  order  of  the  court  not  the  slightest  allusion  is  made  to  any 
unfitness  for  the  sacred  office  on  the  part  of  Mr.  Bachiler.  The  order  is  based 
entirely  on  the  divisions  among  the  people  of  Exeter.  Mr.  Bachiler  did  not  much 
longer  remain  in  Hampton.  His  house*  and  most  of  the  contents  having  been 
destroyed  by  fire,  he  removed  to  Strawberry  Bank  (Portsmouth)  where  he  lived 
from  1647  to  1650,  and  probably  somewhat  later.  During  this  time  he  sued  the 
town  of  Hampton  for  “wages”  due  for  his  services,  and  obtained  a  verdict  in  his 
favor;  for  it  appears  in  the  Records  of  the  Norfolk  Courts  that  the  town  sent  a 
petition  to  the  General  Court  “concerning  Mr.  Bachiler’s  executyon.” 

Concerning  Mr.  Bachiler’s  domestic  relations  in  all  these  years,  we  know 
absolutely  nothing.  His  wife,  Helen,  died,  whether  before  or  after  his  removal 
from  Hampton  is  not  certain;  and  he  married,  probably  about  1648,  his  third  wife, 
Mary,  a  widow  (with  children)  who,  from  mercenary  motives,  inviegled  him  into 
the  marriage,  in  his  extreme  old  age.  But  she  proved  to  be  a  disreputable  woman, 
and  he  separated  from  her.  His  old  enemy,  the  civil  power,  ordered  him  to  live 
with  her,  and  fined  him  for  not  publishing  his  intention  of  marriage.  Weary  and 
disheartened,  he  could  endure  no  more;  and  (probably  in  1655),  escorted  by  his 
grandson,  Stephen  Sanborn,  returned  to  England.  Not  even  yet  the  tongue  of 
calumny  silenced;  for  his  bad  wife  sued  for  a  divorce,  in  1657,  in  order  that  she  might 
be  free  "to  marry  again,  should  opportunity  offer,  alleging  that  she  was  credibly 
informed  “that  he  had  married  a  fourth  wife  in  England.”  On  no  stronger  testi¬ 
mony  does  this  assertion  rest.  “The  ancient  Stephen  Bachiler,  of  Hampton,  New 
Hampshire,  died  at  Hackney,  and  village  and  Parish  in  Middlesex,  two  miles  from 
London,  in  1660,  in  the  one  hundredth  year  of  his  age.” 

It  is  difficult  to  form  a  just  estimate  of  Mr.  Bachiler’s  character.  Much  of  our 
information  concerning  him  comes  through  the  records  of  the  acts  of  the  magis¬ 
trates  and  the  General  Court,  or  the  writing  of  Governor  Winthrop,  with  whom  he 
was  no  favorite.  His  refusal  to  bow  to  unreasonnble  mandates  made  him  enemies 
in  high  places,  and  his  misfortunes  followed  as  a  natural  sequence.  But  that  he  was 
a  good  and  useful  man  there  can  be  no  reasonable  doubt. 


REV.  STEPHEN  BACHILER  AT  EXETER. 

(History  of  Exeter,  N.  H.) 

In  the  spring  of  1644  some  of  the  inhabitants  made  an  attempt  to  gather  a  new 
church  in  Exeter,  and  to  call  the  aged  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler  of  Hampton  in  the 
ministry  thereof.  They  went  so  far  as  to  appoint  a  day  of  humiliation  on  which  to 
carry  both  these  purposes  into  effect,  but  intelligence  of  their  design  having  reached 
the  ears  of  the  Massachusetts  General  Court,  that  body  overruled  it  by  adopting 
on  the  29th  of  May,  1644,  the  following  resolution: 

*\Vhereas,  the  town  of  Hampton  granted  the  farm  which  was  lately  Mr.  Bacheler’s  in  Hamp¬ 
ton,  to  John  Wheelwright,  pastor  of  the  church  in  Hampton,  in  fee  10  mo.  1648,  the  prudential 
men  of  Hampton,  Roger  Shaw,  Robert  Tuck,  Robert  Page  and  Willi  Estow,  convey  all  that  farm 
which  Steven  Kacheller  sold  to  Willi  Howard  and  Thomas  Waid,  of  Hampton,  which  they 
lately  sold  to  Hampton,  14:  12;  164!),  witness  Timothie  Dalton  and  William  Ffullar,  acknowl-

“Whereas,  it  appears  to  this  court  that  some  of  the  inhabitants  of  Exeter  do 
intend  shortly  to  gather  a  church  and  call  Mr.  Bachiler  to  be  their  minister,  and 
forasmuch  as  the  divisions  and  contentious  which  are  among  the  inhabitants  are 
judged  by  this  court  to  be  such  as  for  the  present  they  cannot  comfortable  and  with 
approbation  proceed  in  so  weighty  and  sacred  affairs ;  it  is  therefore  ordered  that 
direction  should  be  forthwith  send  to  the  said  inhabitants  to  defer  the  gathering  of 
any  church  or  other  such  proceeding  until  this  court  of  the  court  of  Ipswich  obtain 
further  satisfaction  of  their  reconciliation  and  fitness  shall  give  allowance  thereunto.  ” 

5.  iv.  STEPHEN,  b.  1594. 

6.  V.  ANN,  b.  1601,  m.  John  Sanborn.  The  husband  of  Anne  Bachiler, 

bapt.  1600,  was  one  of  the  Hampshire  Sambornes,  descended 
from  Nicholas,  son  of  Walter  and  Margaret  (Drew)  Samborne  of 
Southcot  in  Berks,  from  whom  also  descended  the  Sambornes  of 
Timsbury  in  Somerset.  It  seems  probable  that  the  connection 
between  the  American  and  English  Sambornes  came  somehow 
through  Rev.  James  Samborne,  son  of  Rev.  James  and  father  of 
Re\^  Thomas  Samborne,  who  all  lived  in  that  part  of  Hampshire 
where  the  Bachilers  came  from,  though  in  different  parishes — at 
Weyhill,  Grately,  and  Upper  Clatford — or  perhaps  through  Ed¬ 
ward  Samborne,  and  uncle  of  Rev.  James  of  Grately  and  Clatford. 
Like  Stephen  Bachiler,  the  second  Rev.  James  was  an  Oxford  man, 
and  settled  within  a 
few  miles  of  Where- 
well,  where  Bachil¬ 
er  was  rector  from 
1587  to  160;.  His 
patron,  Sir  Thomas 
Jervois,  was  a  Puri¬ 
tan,  like  Bachiler; 
and  his  family  was 
associated  with 
Freefolk,  very  near 
to  Kingsclere,  the 
,■  home  of  the  Bach¬ 

ilers,  and  to  Newton 
Stacy,  where  Steph¬ 
en  Bachiler  lived 
from  1627  to  1631. 

But  the  exact  con¬ 
nect  ing  link  be¬ 
tween  the  husband 
of  Anne  Bachiler 
and  the  Timsbury 
Samborne  family  is 
yet  to  be  discovered. 

All  the  Sanborns  .s.^mbor.n-e  .kr.ms  ,\xi.  crests. 

in  America  are  descended  from  three  brothers,  John,  William  and 
Stephen,  who  came  to  America  in  1632  with  their  grandfather. 
Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler,  and  were  sons  of  an  English  Samborne,  who, 
about  i6ig,  married  Anne  Bachiler.  It  has  been  supposed  that 
the  widow,  Anne  Samborne,  came  with  her  children,  but  no  defi¬ 
nite  record  of  her  life  here  has  been  discovered.  Her  will  is  not  filed 
here,  nor  was  she  at  Hampton  with  her  father  and  sons  in  1638. 
Very  full  records  of  the  American  Sanborns  have  been  compiled. 
In  1855  an  excellent  beginning  was  made  by  Dr.  Nathan  Sanborn; 
and  this  has  been  supplemented  by  genealogies  in  the  histories  of 
Hampton  and  of  Sanbornton,  N.  H.,  and  by  Victor  Channing 
Sanborn,  of  Chicago.  No  full  account,  however,  has  been  given 
of  the  first  generation  in  America,  of  which  the  following  is  a 
brief  record: 

I.  Lieut.  John  Samborne,  born  1620  (as  appears  by  his  deposi¬ 
tion) ;  lots  were  granted  him  in  Hampton,  1640:  he  married  (ist) 
Mary,  daughter  of  Robert  Tucke  of  Hampton:  (2d),  Aug.  2,  1671,

Hampton.  He  was  a  prominent  man  in  Hampton:  Selectman,

member  of  the  Charlestown  church.  Sept.  2,  1677.  He  was  always  a  resident 
of  Hampton,  and  held  many  offices  of  trust  and  honor  in  town  and  church. 
He  was  for  some  time  constable,  and  for  nine  years  was  a  selectman.  Nathaniel 
Bachelor  of  Hampton  made  a  deposition  Dec.  9,  1680,  and  was  then  about  50  years 
of  age.  His  Province  rate  was  the  fifth  in  size  in  1680  of  a  list  of  150  inhabitants  of 
Hampton.  He  was  constable  in  1683.  The  following  anecdote  is  told  of  him: 
When,  after  the  death  of  his  first  wife,  he  had  determined  to  marry  again,  he 
resolved  to  be  governed  in  his  choice  by  the  direction  in  which  his  staff,  held  perpen¬ 
dicularly  over  the  floor,  should  fall,  when  dropped  from  his  hand.  The  experiment 
being  tried,  the  staff  fell  towards  the  southwest,  and  in  that  direction  he  bent  his 
steps.  Having  traveled  as  far  as  Woburn,  he  called  on  the  Widow  Wyman  and 
offered  her  his  hand,  stating  that  he  was  going  to  Boston  and  would  call  for  her 
answer  on  his  return.  It  was  favorable,  for  they  were  at  once  married.  His  widow, 
Elizabeth,  and  children,  made  an  agreement  March  17,  1710,  in  addition  to  his  will, 
which  is  dated  Feb.  14,  1706-7.  The  parties  were  the  widow,  Nathaniel,  Benjamin, 
Mary  Palmer,  Samuel,  Jonathan,  Thomas  and  Joseph  Batcheller;  Joseph  Palmer 
for  his  wife,  Deborah;  Samuel  Shaw  for  his  wife,  Esther;  John  Deaborn  for  his 
wife,  Abigail;  Benjamin  Lampree  for  his  wife,  Jane;  Samuel  Deaborn  for  his  wife, 
Mercy,  Maurice  Hobbs  for  his  wife,  Theodate.  The  son,  Stephen,  was  appointed 
to  make  the  division.  It  may  be  possible  that  Mary  Palmer  was  a  daughter,  but 
more  probably  a  grand-daughter,  as  she  received  only  a  cow  and  three  sheep.  He 
d.  suddenly  Jan.  2,  1710.  Res.  Hampton,  N.  H. 

An  indenture,  made  March  22,  1663-4,  between  Ruth  Dalton,  of  Hampton,  Mass., 
widow  of  the  Rev.  Timothy  Dalton,  and  Nathaniel  Batcheller,  of  Hampton,  termed 
by  Mrs.  D.  "my  constituted  heir."  The  consideration  was  £200.  to  be  paid  to 
Ruth’s  assigns  after  her  decease,  ^50  the  first  year,  then  ^20  annually,  and  the  last 
year  ;^ro.  The  property  conveyed  comprised  all  of  Ruth’s  houses,  lands,  etc., 
except  certain  rooms  in  which  she  lived,  for  which,  after  her  death.  Batcheller  was 
to  pay  an  additional  ^15,  and  to  allow  Deborah  Smith,  wife  of  John  Smith,  to 
occupy  certain  rooms.  The  yearly  payments  after  Mrs.  Dalton’s  death  were  to  be 
made  as  follows:  The  first  year  ^^50  to  Deborah  Smith,  wife  of  John  Smith;  the 
second  year,  ^20  to  Elizabeth,  wife  of  Joseph  Merry;  the  third  year  £20  to  Phebe, 
wife  of  Thomas  Arnall ;  the  fourth  year,  £20  to  Joseph  Parker  (Parkhurst) ;  the 
fifth  year,  £20  to  George  Parker  (Parkhurst);  the  sixth  year,  £20  to  Mary,  wife  of 
Thomas  Carter,  of  Woburn;  ihe  seventh  year,  £10  to  Timothy  Hilliard,  ,^io  to 
Benjamin  Hilliard;  the  eighth  year,  ;!^io  to  Elizabeth  Hilliard,  dau.  of  Elizabeth 
Merry;  £z  to  Abigail  Ambrose,  dau.  of  the  wife  of  John  Severans  of  Salisbury ;  £sto 
Mary,  wife  of  William  Fifield;  the  ninth  year,  £s  to  Walter  Roper,  of  Ipswich;  £s 
to  Hannah  Willix.  Batcheller  was  also  to  pay  an  annual  rent  of  £10  to  Mrs.  Dalton 
during  her  life.  All  the  legacies  were  to  be  paid  the  parties  or  their  heirs  or 
assigns.  A  codicil  gives  some  furniture  to  Deborah  Batcheller,  ;^io  to  John  Smith, 
Jr.,  and  a  trunk  to  Timothy  Dalton,  son  of  Samuel  Dalton,  of  Hampton.  As  to  the 
relation  which  these  legatees  bore  to  Mrs.  Dalton,  and  to  each  other,  it  appears  that 
Joseph  and  George  Parkhurst  both  called  her  “aunt.”  They  were  evidently  the 
sons  of  George  Parkhurst.  Sen.,  of  Watertown,  and  Phebe,  wife  of  Thomas  Arnold, 
was  their  sister.  Again,  the  Hampton  records  give  the  marriage,  14  Dec.  1659, 
Joseph  Merry  and  widow  Elizabeth  Hilliard  of  Hilyard.  She  was,  doubtless,  the 
widow  of  Emanuel  Hilliard,  who  was  drowned  20  Oct.,  1659.  Her  children,  equally, 
of  course,  were  Timothy,  Benjamin  and  Elizabeth  H.  Savage,  indeed,  thought  that 
Elizabeth  H.  was  wife  of  Timothy,  but  he  did  not  know  that  Mrs.  Merry  was  a 


110 


BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY. 


Widow  Hilliard,  and  thought  her  daughter,  Elizabeth  H.  must  be  so  called  from 
her  married  name.  As  it  stands,  the  explanation  is  simple,  and  brings  all  the 
£io  legatees  in  one  category.  The  ;45  ones  are  probably  more  remote.  We  have 
then,  Deborah  Smith,  Elizabeth  (Hilliard)  Merry  and  her  three  children,  the  Park- 
hursts  and  Mary  Carter,  all  presumably  nieces  and  nephews  of  Mrs.  Dalton.  They 
maj^  have  been  brothers  and  sister  or  cousins,  but  we  cannot  at  present  decide.  It 
is  reasonably  sure  that  these  were  relatives  of  Mrs.  Dalton  and  not  of  her  husband, 
because  she  does  not  mention  Dalton’s  relatives  who  were  then  living  in  Hampton. 
Was  Nathaniel  Batcheller  a  connection?  His  wife  certainly  was,  being  Deborah, 
daughter  of  Deborah  and  John  Smith.  Batcheller  calls  George  Parkhurst  his  uncle, 
and  we  may,  perhaps,  accept  that  rather  as  a  proof  that  P.  was  uncle  to  B’s  wife, 
and  that  !Mrs.  Smith  was  a  daughter  of  George  Parkhurst,  Sen.  It  has  always  been 
thought  that  the  Daltons,  Timothy  and  Ruth,  died  childless,  and,  therefore,  I  am 
inclined  to  believe  that  Deborah  Smith  was  merely  the  favorite  niece.  I  deem  it 
more  probable  that  Deborah  Smith  and  Elizabeth  (Hilliard)  Merry  were  sisters  of 
the  Parkhursts  than  cousins ;  for,  if  Deborah  was  a  Parkhurst,  it  is  not  likely  that 
a  cousin  would  be  interposed  in  the  list  between  her  and  Phebe  (Parkhurst)  Arnold; 
especially  as  a  Benjamin  Parkhurst,  another  brother,  who  was  alive  in  1669,  is  not 
mentioned  by  his  aunt,  Dalton,  Mary,  wife  of  Rev.  Thomas  Carter  (Register  xvii, 
51)  may  be  either  sister  or  cousin  to  the  preceding  Batcheller  endorsed  a  paper, 
“Cousin  John  Wyman  about  my  uncle  Carter’s  legacy.’’  If  Mrs.  Carter  were  a 
Parkhurst,  she  would  be  aunt  to  Baicheller’s  wife.  It  must  be  noted  that  Nathaniel 
Batcheller,  after  the  death  of  his  wife,  Deborah  Smith,  married  Mary,  widow  of 
John  IVyrnan  and  daughter  of  Mary  Carter.  Another  daughter,  Abigail  Carter, 
married  a  John  Smith,  very  probably  a  son  of  Deborah  Smith.  The  chances  are 
that  Batcheller’s  wives  were  own  cousins,  and  that  Smith  married  an  own  cousin. 
It  is  worth  noticing  that  Nathaniel  Batcheller  was  the  son  of  Rev.  Stephen  Batch¬ 
eller  or  of  Bochilor,  who  had  lived  a  rambl  ing  and  contentious  life  here,  and  who  was. 
at  one  time,  about  1640,  a  colleague  of  the  Rev.  Timothy  Dalton,  at  Hampton.  It  is 
a  little  strange  that  a  marriage  should  have  occurred  between  the  families,  and 
especially  that  Nathaniel  Batcheller  should  have  been  the  greatest  recipient  of  Mrs. 
Dalton’s  property.  It  seems  that  Mrs.  Dalton,  in  her  will,  calls  him  “cousin,”  as 
she  does  his  mother-in-law,  Mrs.  Smith.  It  is  also  true  that  he  was  probably  much 
older  than  his  wife;  for  all  this,  as  he  calls  Parkhurst  and  Cai  ter  his  uncles,  he  must 
have  been  in  the  same  degree  of  distance  from  Mrs.  Dalton  as  his  wife  clearly  was, 
and  we  may  safely  conclude  that  his  “cousinship”  was  through  his  wife.

He  inherited  the  homestead  and  had  a  family  of  twelve  ch.  One 
of  the  Sons,  was  Henry,  who  was  b.  Feb.  23,  1751,  having  studied 
medicine,  he  established  himself  as  a  physician  at  Nottingham 
square  in  1772.  From  his  early  youth  he  was  fond  of  military  exer¬ 
cise,  and  at  once  interested  himself  in  teaching  such  young  men 
as  naturally  gathered  around  him  the  tactics  that  prevailed  at  that 
time.  These  young  men  recognized  him  as  their  superior  officer, 
with  whose  wishes  they  readily  complied.  So,  when  the  stirring 
times  of  the  Revolution  approached,  military  ardor  increased, 
and  the  conviction  that  the  time  was  hastening  when  their 
knowledge  in  miltary  science  would  be  called  into  requisition, 
stimulated  them  to  greater  sacrifices  and  bound  them  more  closely 
to  their  leader.  And  when  the  news  reached  Nottingham  that, 
on  April  19,  1775,  seven  Americans — the  first  martyrs  of  the  Revo¬ 
lution — had  fallen  in  the  conflict  at  Lexington,  Dr.  Dearborn  and 
his  band  from  Nottingham,  Deerfield,  Epsom  and  Northwood 
started,  armed  as  best  they  might  be,  for  the  scene  of  action,  and, 
after  traveling  the  whole  night,  on  the  following  morning  report¬ 
ed  themselves  as  ready  for  duty  at  Medford.  There  they  met 
some  1,200  men  from  New  Hampshire.  Organization  was  at  once 
affected  and  discipline  maintained.  A  company  was  formed  at 
Cambridge  and  Dr.  Dearborn  was  chosen  captain.  This  company 
was  in  Col.  Stark’s  regiment  and  was  at  the  memorable  battle  on 
the  heights  at  Charlestown,  being  posted  on  the  left  wing, 
behind  a  fence,  from  which  position  they  freely  galled  the  British 
as  they  advanced  to  the  attack  and  cut  them  down  by  whole  ranks 
at  once.  Capt.  Dearborn  commanded  a  company  in  Arnold’s  ex¬ 
pedition  against  Quebec  in  1775-6.  Late  in  the  summer  of  1775 
Gen.  Montgomery  led  an  army  by  the  way  of  Lake  Champlain. 
He  succeeded  in  taking  St.  Johns  and  Montreal,  and  at  Quebec 
was  joined  by  Col.  Arnold  with  a  crowd  of  half-clad,  half  fam¬ 
ished  men,  who  had  ascended  the  Kennebec,  and  then  struck 
across  the  wilderness.  It  is  hard  to  conceive  the  hardships  these 
men  endured.  Their  way  was  through  tangled  thickets  and  over 
pathless  mountains.  Worn  out,  cold,  sick  and  disheartened,  they 
still  pressed  forward.  The  last  ox  was  killed  and  eaten,  the  last 
dog  was  taken  up  for  food,  and  their  only  resource  against  starva¬ 
tion  was  roots  and  moose-skin  moccasins.  For  two  days  they  ate 
nothing.  Morgan,  Greene,  Meigs  and  Aaron  Burr  were  of  this 
brave  band.  No  braver  man  was  in  all  that  number  than  Dear¬ 
born,  none  more  enduring  and  uncomplaining  than  the  men  he 
commanded.  After  this  campaign.  Dearborn  was  in  the  battles 
of  Stillwater,  and  Saratoga,  in  1777,  as  Major,  with  the  command 
of  a  district  corps.  And  again  he  served  as  Deputy  Quartermaster 
General.  After  this.  Dearborn  was  comissioned  as  colonel  of  the 
First  N.  H.  regiment  from  1781  to  the  end  of  the  war.  He  was  in 
New  Jersey  in  1780  and  with  Washington  at  Yorktown  in  1781. 
In  1784,  after  the  war,  he  removed  to  Maine,  where  he  was  made 
brigadier  general  of  the  militia.  President  Washington  appointed 
him  marshal  of  the  District  of  Maine.  In  1793  he  was  elected  to 
Congress  and  served  two  terms.  He  was  Secretary  of  War  from 
1801  to  1809,  when  he  was  made  collector  of  the  Port  of  Boston.  In 
1812  he  was  made  senior  major-general  of  the  United  States  army 
and,  having  command  of  the  Department  of  the  North,  he  intend¬ 
ed  to  invade  Canada.  This  plan  was  not  realized  and  he  accepted 
the  offer  of  an  armistice  made  by  Sir  George  Prevost,  and  rejected 
by  President  Madison.  In  1813  he  went  with  his  army  to  Canada 
and  captured  York  (now  Toronto),  and,  transporting  his  forces  to 
the  mouth  of  the  Niagara,  took  Fort  George.  In  July,  1813,  Gen¬ 
eral  Dearborn  was  placed  in  command  of  the  forces  in  the  military 
district  of  New  York  City,  which  post  he  resigned  in  1815.  In 
1822  to  1824  he  was  minister  to  Portugal.  He  died  in  Roxbury, 
Mass.,  June  6,  1829.

Samuel  Deaborn  has  been  called  the  pioneer  of  North  Hampton, 
N.  H.,  and  is  said  to  have  built  the  first  house  in  the  town  “north 
of  the  brook.’’  He  purchased  a  large  tract  of  land,  selected  a  farm 
for  himself  in  the  center  and  sold  out  the  remainder  to  his  brother 
John  in  such  a  manner  as  to  leave  himself  entirely  shut  off  from 
the  highway,  excepting  a  lane  which  passed  by  his  brother’s  door. 
For  years  the  farm  was  afterwards  in  possession  of  Dea.  Nathaniel 
Deaborn,  a  lineal  descendant.  Samuel  was  one  of  the  petitioners 
for  the  incorporation  of  the  town,  but  appears  to  have  kept  him¬ 
self,  like  his  farm,  very  much  retired  from  the  public,  engaging 
only  in  his  domestic  relations.  His  wife  died  quite  aged.  Ch. ;

with  his  brother  Stephen  in  many  of  the  campaigns  against  the  Indians  about 
Hampton.  Often  he  was  a  soldier  and  at  other  times  a  scout  or  messenger.  He 
suffered  many  hardships  and  braved  numerous  dangers  at  Oyster  River,  Exeter, 
Hampton  and  at  Fort  William  and  Mary.  He  was  probably  a  member  of  Daniel 
Tilton’s  garrison  in  Hampton.  In  1707  he  was  in  the  company  of  Lieut.  Joseph 
Swett’s  against  Port  Royal.

b.  Hampton,  N.  H.,  Oct.  10,  1715.  She  was  a  woman  of  remark¬ 
able  strength  of  character,  robust  in  form,  with  black  hair,  a 
piercing  black  eye  and  dark  complexion.  She  was  a  woman  of 
marked  ability.  Their  son  Ebenezer  was  born  April  22,  1739;

ary  vVar,  was  often  selectman  and  Representative.  Their  son, 
Daniel  Webster,  American  statesman,  was  born  at  Salisbury,  N. 
H.,  Jan.  18,  1782.  His  family  can  be  traced  back  without  diffi¬ 
culty  to  Thomas  Webster,  of  Scottish  ancestry,  who  settled  in 
New  Hampshire  in  1636,  but  no  further.  Ebenezer  Webster,  the 
father  of  Daniel,  was  born  in  Kingston,  N.  H.,  in  1739,  and  died 
in  Salisbury  (now  Franklin)  in  1806.  He  served  in  the  old 
French  war  under  Sir  Jeffrey  Amherst,  and  in  1761  was  one  of 
the  first  settlers  of  what  is  now  Franklin,  N.  H.,  then  the  most 
northern  of  the  New  England  settlements.  There  he  became  a 
farmer  and  also  kept  a  tavern.  At  the  opening  of  the  Revolution 
he  lead  the  Salisbury  militia  to  Cambridge,  and  subsequently  did 
much  service  till  the  close  of  the  war,  when  he  attained  the  rank 
of  Colonel  of  the  militia.  He  was  a  member  of  the  lower  branch 
of  the  legislature  for  several  years,  served  also  in  the  state  senate 
and  from  1791  until  his  death  was  judge  of  the  court  of  common 
pleas  of  Hillsboro  county.  His  son  Ezekiel  was  born  in  Salis¬ 
bury  in  March,  1780,  and  died  in  Concord,  N.  H.,  April  10, 
1829.  He  was  graduated  at  Dartmouth  College  in  1804,  and 
rose  to  eminence  that  time.  He  was  also  a  member  for  several 
years  of  the  New  Hampshire  legislature.  His  death  resulted 
suddenly  from  disease  of  the  heart,  while  trying  a  case. 

From  him  his  sons  Ezekiel  and  Daniel  inherited  great  physical 
force, J  their  mother  was  Abigail  Eastman.  Livnng  on  the 
frontier,  Daniel  was  compelled  to  depend  for  early  education  on 
his  mother  and  on  the  schooling  customary  in  winter,  and  for 
much  of  this  he  was  indebted  to  the  fact  that  he  was  physically 
the  weakest  of  his  family.  It  is  a  little  odd,  however,  that  he 
failed  utterly  in  that  with  which  his  final  reputation  was  so 
closely  connected.  In  his  own  words,  “There  was  one  thing  I 
could  not  do;  I  could  not  make  a  declamation;  I  could  not  speak 


‘‘The  marriage  record  reads  “Richard  Fitts  and  Sara  Ordway  was  marryed  Octobar  Sth, 
10.54."  Richard  Fitts  was  one  of  ninety-one  grantees  of  “Newberry.”  A  son  of  his  friend. 
Deputy  Governor  Symonds,  was  named  for  him  “Richard  Fitts  Symonds.”  His  will,  probated 
1(173.  appointed  his  “well  beloved  kinsman  Abraham  Fitts,’’  son  of  Robert,  executor,  and  gave 
him  “all  his  lands  and  personal  estate.”  Mr.  Robert  Fitts,  “planter,”  was  an  original  proprieter 
at  Salisbury,  in  1(13.5.  He  was  the  son  of  Sir  John  Fitz  of  Fitzford,  Tavistock,  Devonshire,  Eng¬ 
land,  and  came  to  Massachusetts  in  the  ship  William  and  John,  in  which  he  “embarqued 
secundo  die  Septembris,  163.5.”  Richard  Fitts  was  the  son  of  Abraham  and  received  the  lands 
of  his  grandfather  Robert  in  Salisbury.  His  marriage  is  thus  recorded:  “Richard  Fitts  was 
married  to  Sarah  Thorne  March  ye  IHth  l(lil4-.5.”  They  were  the  great-grandparents  of  Daniel 
Webster.  They  removed  to  Salisbury  from  Ipswich,  and  Richard  built  a  block-house  to  defend 
his  family  froiii  the  Indians,  by  whom  they  were  repeatedly  attacked.  Mrs.  Sarah  (Thorne> 
Fitts  “was  a  superior  woman,  remarkable  for  resolution  of  character,  bravery  and  pietv,  walk¬ 
ing  .sixteen  miles  to  worship  with  the  people  of  God,  at  Ipswich,  where  she  was  a  church  mem¬ 
ber,”  every  Sundaj-.  She  is  also  spoken  of  as  “a  dutiful  and  affectionate  wife,  a  kind  mother 
and  a  pious,  charitable  and  useful  member  of  society.”  .She  died  March,  1773,  aged  one  hun¬ 
dred  years.  Mr.  Richard  Fitts  died  Dec.  3,  1744,  aged  seventy-two  years.  Their  youngest 
child.  Jerusha,  married  Roger  Eastman,  Jan.  2.5,  1730.  He  was  a  great-grandson  of  Roger  East¬ 
man.  the  emigrant.  They  settled  in  Salisbury,  where  their  children  were  born.  Abigail,  the 
eldest,  became  the  second  wife  of  Colonel  Ebenezer  Webster.  Oct.  13,  1774,  and  the  mother  of 
Daniel  Webster,  who  was  born  Jan.  IS,  17H2,  graduated  at  Dartmouth  College,  1801,  and  died 
Oct.  24.  1K52.  Mrs.  Abigail  Webster  had  two  brothers,  Ezekiel  and  Daniel  Eastman,  for  whom 
her  two  sons  were  named. 

tDaniel  Webster  wrote  to  his  son  Fletcher  March  .5,  1840:  “I  believe  we  are  all  indebted  to 
ray  father’s  mother  for  a  large  portion  of  the  little  sense  which  belongs  to  ns.  Her  name  was 
Susannah  Bachelder;  she  was  the  descendant  of  a  clergyman  and  a  woman  of  uncommon 
strength  of  understanding.  If  I  had  had  many  bovs  I  should  have  called  one  of  them  Bachel¬ 
der.”

before  the  school.”  When  he  was  fifteen  years  old  a  family  coun¬ 
cil  decided  to  send  him  to  college.  After  an  imperfect  prepara¬ 
tion  he  graduated  at  Dartmouth  College  in  i8oi,  studied  law,  and 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  Boston  in  1805  from  the  office  of  Chris¬ 
topher  Gore.  Regard  for  his  father  made  Webster  begin  practice 
in  the  town  of  Boscawen,  near  his  early  home,  but  his  father  died 
within  a  year,  and  he  removed  to  Portsmouth,  the  largest  town  of 
the  state.  Here  he  took  a  leading  place  at  the  bar,  having  but  one 
rival.  In  May.  1813,  he  entered  Congress  as  a  representative 
from  New  Hampshire,  being  placed  at  once  on  the  committee  of 
foreign  affairs. 

As  a  moderate  Federalist,  he  held  that  attacks  on  Canada 
should  cease,  and  that  the  war  should  be  confined  to  the  ocean. 
His  first  speech  showed  that  the  raw  New  Hampshire  boy  of  a 
dozen  years  before  had  developed  new  powers. 

The  position  of  any  Federalist  in  Congress,  however,  was  not  a 
wide  sphere  of  influence,  and  Webster,  removing  to  Boston  in 
1816,  gave  up  political  life  for  some  years. 

At  the  Massachusetts  bar  Webster  soon  gained  a  place  as 
prominent  as  he  had  held  in  New  Hampshire,  and  within  three 
years  his  reputation  as  a  lawyer  had  become  national.  His  na¬ 
tional  standing  was  gained  by  his  argument  in  the ‘‘Dartmouth 
College  case”  practically  indorsed  by  the  supreme  court.  Dart¬ 
mouth  College  had  been  chartered  by  the  king  in  1769.  In  1816 
the  New  Hampshire  legislature  undertook  to  alter  the  charter  and 
reorganize  the  corporation,  and  the  state  courts  sustained  the 
legislature  in  a  suit  brought  by  the  old  trustees  against  the  new. 
On  appeal  to  the  supreme  court  of  the  United  States  in  1818, 
Webster  contended  that  the  college  was  an  eleemosynary  corpo¬ 
ration,  over  which  the  legislature  had  no  more  power  than  the 
king  who  chartered  it;  that  the  king  had  no  power  to  void  such  a 
charter,  and  the  New  Hampshire  legislature  no  such  sovereign 
powers  as  parliament;  that  the  legislature’s  action  came  within 
the  federal  constitution's  prohibition  of  state  legislation  altering 
contracts;  that ‘‘the  charter  of  1769  is  a  contract ;”  that ‘‘the  acts 
in  question  impair  this  contract,”  and  that  they  were  therefore  un¬ 
constitutional  and  void. 

The  supreme  court  upheld  Webster's  view,  and  it  was  soon  seen 
that  he  had  worked  a  serious  change  in  the  relations  of  the  states 
to  corporations,  as  they  had  thus  far  been  understood.  The  states 
endeavored  to  meet  the  new  rule  by  inserting  in  their  charters 
clauses  retaining  the  right  to  alter  them,  but  the  spirit  of  the 
"Dartmouth  College  case,”  which  has  always  had  its  opponents 
among  American  lawyers,  has  had  its  influence  upon  judges  every¬ 
where,  in  every  variety  of  cognate  cases.  From  this  time  Webster 
was  recognized  as  the  leading  lawyer  of  the  country,  and  his  ser¬ 
vices  were  in  constant  demand. 

His  cases  are  quite  beyond  statement  within  the  space  here 
available.  Some  of  his  leading  constitutional  cases  were  those  of 
Gibbons  v.  Ogden,  in  1824,  in  which  he  overthrew  the  action  of 
the  New  York  legislature,  in  granting  to  Ogden,  assignee  of  Ful¬ 
ton  and  Livingston,  a  monopoly  of  steam  navigation  in  New  York 
waters,  as  an  interference  witn  the  right  of  Congress  to  regulate 
commerce;  Ogden  v.  Saunders,  in  1827,  in  which  he  attacked  the 
right  of  a  state  to  pass  bankruptcy  laws ;  the  Girard  College  case, 
in  1844,  in  which  he  maintained  that  Christianity  was  an  essential 
part  of  the  common  law,  and  the  case  of  Luther  v.  Borden,  com¬ 
monly  known  as  the  Rhode  Island  case,  in  1848,  in  which  he  laid 
the  foundation  for  the  subsequent  definition  of  the  ‘‘guarantee 
clause”  of  the  constitution,  and  stated  the  meaning  of  the  ‘‘repub¬ 
lican  government”  of  a  state. 

Like  other  American  lawyers,  he  made  no  distinction  in  his 
practice  between  kinds  of  cases,  and  was  often  retained  in  criminal 
causes.  The  most  celebrated  of  these  were  the  trials  of  Goodrich 
and  Knapp;  in  the  latter  is  the  passage  on  the

science,  which  has  been  declaimed  by  countless  American  school 
boys. 

Webster's  reputation  as  an  orator  began  with  his  address  at 
Plymouth  in  1820,  on  the  200th  anniversary  of  the  landing  of  the 
Pilgrims.  It  was  increased  by  his  address  at  the  laying  of  the 
corner  stone  of  the  Bunker  Hill  monument  in  1825  on  the  50th  an¬ 
niversary  of  the  battle,  and  by  that  which  commemorated  in  1826 
the  50th  anniversary  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence  and  the 
coincident  deaths  of  Jefferson  and  John  Adams.  On  every  great 
public  occasion  thereafter,  if  Webster  was  obtainable  he  was  held 
to  be  the  natural  speaker  to  be  chosen. 

In  December,  1823,  Webster  returned  to  Congress  as  a  repre¬ 
sentative  from  Massachusetts,  and  his  first  speech,  in  January, 
1824.,  in  support  of  a  resolution  to  send  a  commissioner  to  Greece, 
then  in  insurrection,  made  him  the  first  congressional  speaker. 
During  his  service  in  the  house  the  tariff  of  1824  came  up  for  dis¬ 
cussion. 

Representing  a  commercial  district,  Webster’s  speech  has 
always  been  a  Source  of  gratification  to  American  opponents  of 
protection.  He  repudiated  the  name  of  “American  system” 
claimed  by  Clay  for  the  system  of  protection  which  he  was  intro¬ 
ducing. 

When  the  tariff  of  1828,  which  .was  still  more  protective,  came 
up  for  discussion,  Webster  had  ceased  to  oppose  protection ;  but 
his  speech  does  not  attempt  to  argue  in  favor  of  it.  It  can  hardly 
escape  notice  that  in  his  published  works  Webster  has  but  two 
subsequent  speeches  in  Congress  on  the  tariff,  both  defending  pro¬ 
tection  rather  as  a  policy  under  which  industries  had  been  called 
into  being  than  as  an  advisable  policy,  if  the  stage  had  been  clear 
for  the  adoption  of  a  new  policy. 

In  1827,  Webster  was  sent  to  the  Senate,  in  which  he  remained 
until  his  death,  with  the  exception  of  his  service  in  the  cabinet  in 
Tyler’s  administration.  In  January,  1830,  came  the  crowning 
event  of  his  political  life.  A  debate  on  public  lands  under  a  reso¬ 
lution  offered  by  Senator  Foot,  thence  known  as  “Foot’s  resolu¬ 
tion,”  had  wandered  off  into  all  possible  fields.  In  course  of  it, 
Hayne,  of  South  Carolina,  attacked  New  England  for  having  pur¬ 
sued  a  selfish  policy  as  to  western  lands.  Webster  replied.  During 
Hayne’s  answer  'Webster  drew  from  him  the  first  distinct  and 
public  statement  of  the  new  doctrine  nullification  of  the  consti¬ 
tutional  right  of  a  state  to  forbid  the  execution  within  its  jurisdic¬ 
tion  of  acts  of  Congress  which  it  considered  unconstitutional.  This 
had  been  the  product  of  Calhoun’s  intellect,  which  was  generally 
taken  to  be  the  source  of  Hayne’s  inspiration.  Webster’s  reply 
in  his  famous  “second  speech  on  Foot’s  resolution,”  he  began 
by  a  defense  of  Massachusetts,  which  has  been  severely  criticised, 
and  is  perhaps  open  to  criticism. 

The  remainder  of  the  speech  was  of  intense  interest,  not 
merely  to  New  England,  but  to  the  whole  north  and  west,  and  to 
all  the  progressive  elements  of  the  country.  He  stated  the  an¬ 
archistic  doctrine  of  nullification  in  its  nakedness,  extorted  from 
Hayne  an  unwilling  half  admission  of  the  exactness  of  his  state¬ 
ment,  and  then  went  on  to  trample  on  it  with  such  an  exhibition 
of  logic,  sarcasm  and  elephantine  humor  as  has  never  been  heard 
in  the  Senate  before  or  since.  It  is  on  this  speech  that  Webster’s 
tame  was  built. 

Southern  men  had  taken  the  lead  so  long  that  it  was  a  new 
sensation  to  the  north  and  west  to  see  a  southern  leader  com¬ 
pletely  overmatched  by  their  champion;  and  “Black  Dan  Web¬ 
ster,  ”  a  popular  name  due  to  his  dark  complexion,  beetling  brows 
and  heavy  cast  of  features,  was  for  twenty  years  the  representa¬ 
tive  of  northern  sentiment  as  to  the  nature  of  the  Union. 

Calhoun  took  Hayne’s  place  in  the  Senate  in  1833,  introduced 
and  defended  resolutions  indorsing  the  right  of  nullification  and 
was  still  more  fully  answered  by  Webster.  For  the  next  seventeen

years  the  records  of  the  Senate  are  full  of  constitutional  arguments 
between  the  two.  Webster’s  oratory  made  him  an  invaluable 
member  of  the  Whig  party,  and  his  addresses  at  political  meetings 
are  so  numerous  as  to  defy  special  mention.  A  leader  so  distin¬ 
guished  had  a  fair  right  to  think  of  the  presidency,  but  it  always 
remained  just  beyond  his  reach.  In  the  general  Whig  convention  of 
1836  he  received  the  fourteen  electoral  votes  of  Massachusetts. 
In  1840  the  candidature  of  Harrison  left  him  no  chance.  In  1844 
Webster’s  retention  of  his  position  under  Tyler  gave  Clay  an  over¬ 
whelming  advantage  with  his  party.  In  184S  the  nomination  of 
Taylor,  which  Webster  declared  “one  not  fit  to  be  made,’’  was  a 
fatal  blow  to  the  prospects  of  the  Massachusetts  leader.  His 
final  failure  to  obtain  Whig  nomination  in  1852  put  an  end  to  his 
political  career. 

When  the  Whig  party  came  into  power  in  1841  Webster  was 
appointed  secretary  of  state  (foreign  affairs)  and  he  retained  his 
post  under  Tyler  after  his  colleagues  had  broken  with  the  new 
president  and  resigned.  There  was  good  reason  for  his  action. 
When  he  entered  office  war  with  Great  Britain  was  a  probable 
event  of  the  near  future.  The  McLeod  case,  in  which  the  state 
of  New  York  insisted  on  trying  a  British  subject,  with  whose 
trial  the  Federal  government  had  no  power  to  interfere,  while 
the  British  government  had  declared  that  it  would  consider  con¬ 
viction  and  execution  a  casus  belli;  the  exercise  of  the  right  of 
search  by  British  vessels  on  the  coast  of  Africa  of  which  Ameri¬ 
cans  had  a  deep  seated  detestation,  quite  apart  from  any  feeling 
about  the  slave  trade ;  the  Maine  boundary,  as  to  which  the  action 
of  a  state  might  at  any  time  bring  the  Federal  government  into 
armed  collision  with  Great  Britain — all  these  at  once  met  the  new 
secretary,  and  he  felt  that  he  had  no  right  to  abandon  his  work 
for  party  reasons. 

With  the  special  commissioner  from  Great  Britain,  Lord  Ash¬ 
burton,  he  concluded  the  treaty  of  1842,  which  settled  all  these 
questions  satisfactory  to  both  parties. 

At  the  same  time  Webster  took  the  opportunity  to  end  the 
long  controversy  as  to  the  right  of  impressment.  Sixteen  years 
afterward  the  British  government  admitted  at  last  the  correctness 
of  the  American  position.  Leaving  the  cabinet  in  1843  Webster 
was  returned  to  the  Senate  in  1845,  and  spent  the  remainder  of 
his  life  there.  He  opposed  the  annexation  of  Texas  and  the 
Mexican  war,  and  was,  as  before,  the  recognized  spokesman  of  his 
party. 

As  the  growing  intensity  of  the  quarrel  over  the  organization  of 
the  territory  acquired  from  Mexico  revealed  the  depth  of  the 
chasm  which  now  yawned  between  the  sections,  Webster’s  stand¬ 
ing  ground  in  American  politics  disappeared.  His  speech  of 
March  7,  1850,  which  stamped  him  in  the  opinion  of  many  of  his 
former  northern  worshipers  as  a  recreant  bidding  for  southern 
votes  for  the  presidency,  was  really  little  different  from  his  former 
words.  It  was  the  country  that  had  changed.  He  was  still  for 
the  Union  as  the  one  controlling  consideration,  with  an  equal  dis¬ 
like  for  the  abolitionist  and  the  secessionist,  who  endangered  the 
Union.  But  the  north  and  the  south  were  already  so  far  apart 
that  not  even  Webster  could  stand  with  one  foot  in  one  and  the 
other  foot  in  the  other  section,  and  his  fate  was  parallel  with  that 
of  John  Dickinson,  who  essayed  a  similar  role  during  the  Revolu¬ 
tion. 

Angered  at  the  spirit  with  which  his  speech  was  received  Web¬ 
ster  threw  all  his  infiuence  toward  driving  through  the  Whig  con¬ 
vention  of  1852  an  indorsement  of  the  compromise  of  1850  “in  all 
its  parts,”  including,  of  course,  the  Fugitive  Slave  Act. 

The  result  was  his  own  failure  to  receive  the  Whig  nomination 
for  the  presidency  and  the  downfall  of  his  party.  Just  before 
the  election  he  died  at  his  home,  Marshfield,  Mass.,  October,  1852. 
Webster  was  twice  married  to  Grace  Fletcher,  of  New  Hampshire.

John;”  b.  May  6,  1678.  He  was  born  in  Hampton,  N.  H.,  where  he  always  resided. 
When  about  20  years  of  age  or  thereabouts  he  enlisted  in  the  Colonial  militia  and 
served  in  many  of  the  engagements  with  the  Indians  about  1694.  The  previous 
year  the  Indians  had  signed  articles  of  “submission  and  agreement”  at  Pemaquid. 
For  a  y^ear  the  people  had  a  respite  from  hostilities.  But  the  next  blow  inflicted  in 
the  vicinity  of  Hampton  was  of  great  severity.  On  a  summer  morning,  about  day¬ 
break,  a  large  number  of  Indians  fell  suddenly  and  unexpected  upon  the  settle¬ 
ments  at  Oyster  River;  took  three  garrisons,  burned  thirteen  houses  and  killed  and 

carried  into  captivity  ninety-four  persons.  Other  outrages  followed.  Less  than 
two  years  after  the  treaty  a  body  of  Indians  made  an  attack  at  Portsmouth 
Plains,  two  miles  from  Hampton.  They  had  come  from  York  to  Sandy  Beach  in 
their  canoes,  which  they  secreted  in  the  bushes  near  the  shore.  Fourteen  persons 
were  killed,  one  was  scalped  and  left  for  dead,  but  recovered.  The  houses,  five  in 
number,  were  burned.  The  Indians  escaped.  It  was  in  these  engagements  and 
similar  ones  that  Stephen  Batchelder  participated.  He  d.  Sept.  19,  1748;  res.  Hamp¬

the  legislature  for  a  grant  of  waste  land  for  a  township,  somewhere  in  the  province, 
suggesting  that  Chichester  had  been  originally  intended  for  Hampton,  but  that  its 
charter  had  been  forfeited  by  a  neglect  to  comply  with  its  provisions;  and  that,  on 
account  of  the  loss  of  that  township  they  were  now  entitled  to  favor.  The  pro- 

Erietors  stated  that,  having  met  with  more  trouble  and  greater  difficult):  in  running 
oundaries  and  clearing  the  way  to  said  township  than  they  had  anticipated,  they 
had  not  been  able  fully  to  comply  with  the  conditions  of  the  charter,  and  asked  for 
more  time,  and  one  year  was  granted.  He  d.  Oct.  9,  1759;  res.  Hampton,  Hampton-

joined  the  first  company  of  Major  Whitcomb’s  rangers,  which  was 
stationed  at  Ticonderoga  in  1777.  It  was  known  that  Gen.  Bur- 
goyne  had  armed  in  Canada  and  would  probably  attempt  a  junc¬ 
tion  with  the  British  army  in  New  York.  On  June  i6th  Lieut. 
Taylor,  with  twelve  men  under  his  command,  was  sent  out  to

reconnoitre.  Was  ordered  to  an  elevated  point  fifteen  miles 
down  Lake  Champlain,  whence  a  view  of  it  for  twenty  miles 
further  could  be  obtained.  No  approach  of  the  enemy  being  dis¬ 
covered,  he  started  to  return  the  next,  day,  as  directed,  but  at  ii 
o'clock  fell  into  an  ambuscade  of  sixty  or  one  hundred  Indians, 
near  a  creek,  since  called  Taylor’s  Creek.  The  savages  feeling 
sure  of  their  victims,  greeted  them  familiarly  with  “How  d’ye  do, 
brothers?"  but  Lieut.  Taylor,  with  remarkable  coolness,  prompt¬ 
ness  and  self-possession,  gav'e  the  order  to  “Fire!”  Recoiling  at 
first,  they  soon  after  rallied.  The  fight  became  general.  Three 
_  of  Taylor’s  men  fell  mortally  wounded,  himself  receiving  what  he 

supposed  would  prove  a  fatal  shot  in  the  shoulder.  Ordering  his 
men,  therefore,  to  escape,  to  sell  their  lives  as  dearly  as  possible, 
and  if  any  reached  the  fort  to  announce  “All’s  well  upon  the 
lake!”  he  crept,  faint  and  bleeding  into  the  top  of  a  large  hemlock 
tree,  which  had  lately  fallen.  Meanwhile  the  Indians,  as  a  body, 
had  also  retreated,  perhaps  concluding  from  the  boldness  of  their 
defense,  that  a  re-inforcement  was  near  at  hand.  Some  of  the 
s.avages,  however,  rushing  back  for  scalps  or  spoils,  stood  upon 
and  passed  over  the  trunk  of  the  very  tree  under  the  top  of  which 
young  Taylor  was  lying  in  breathless  suspense.  Late  in  the  day, 
perceiving  no  further  tokens  of  their  proximity,  he  found  his  way, 
with  great  difficulty  from  loss  of  blood,  back  to  the  fort,  arriving 
“just  as  the  sunset  gun  was  fired.”  He  received  the  warmest 
commendation  from  Gen.  St.  Clair,  while  Capt.  Hutchins,  who 
had  been  sent  out  with  one  hundred  men  to  “protect  the  scouting 
party”  and  had  heard  their  guns  without  pressing  forward  to  their 
relief,  was  promptly  cashiered  for  his  cowardice  and  his  command 
given  to  another.  On  account  of  his  wound,  the  ball  having  en- 
•  tered  near  the  collar  bone  and  passed  out  below  the  shoulder 
blade  Lieut.  Taylor  was  unable  to  resume  duty  for  several 
months,  and  not  till  after  the  unfortunate  surrender  at  Ticonderoga, 
and  the  brilliant  succession  of  events  which  followed.  He  con¬ 
tinued  in  the  army  till  near  the  close  of  the  war,  when,  on  account 
of  ill  health,  he  was  obliged  to  resign  and  go  to  his  home  in  San- 
bornton.  He  was  appointed  Justice  of  the  Peace,  was  Division 
,  Inspector  of  the  militia,  was  representative  in  the  legislature  for 

several  years,  was  a  member  of  the  Council  and  of  the  Senate.

Revolution,  when  it  was  torn  down  by  Simon  Marston,  who  bought  the  farm  of  Mr. 
Longfellow  in  1765,  when  he  left  the  town  and  moved  to  Nova  Scotia,  but  soon  re¬ 
turned  and  settled  at  Machias,  Me. 

IVIr.  Longfellow  is  said  to  have  paid  for  the  place  with  slaves;  at  any  rate,  it  is 
well  authenticated  that  he  owned  slaves  and  gave  some  to  his  daughters,  Mrs.  Cilley 
and  l\Irs.  Batchelder,  who  were  the  only  members  of  his  family  who  did  not  move  to 
Nova  Scitia. 

The  descendants  of  Simon  Marston  still  own  the  place,  and  keep  as  a  choice 
historical  relic  an  iron  ring  which  was  fastened  to  a  post  in  the  garrison,  to  which  it 
is  said  Mr.  Longfellow  was  accustomed  to  tie  his  slaves  when  it  was  necessary  to 
punish  them.  When  Mr,  Marston  tore  down  the  old  garrison  he  took  this  ring  and 
fastened  it  to  a  post  in  his  barn,  where  it  now  is. 

This  garrison  is  described  by  those  who  saw  it  as  the  first  house  built  in  the 
town.  It  was  very  long  and  wide,  but  very  low,  containing  three  large  rooms  and 
two  smaller  sleeping  rooms;  it  was  of  hewn  timbers  and  the  rooms  were  ceiled  at 
the  top  and  sides,  except  the  kitchen.  During  the  Indian  raids  it  had  a  stockade  of 
timber  enclosing  a  large  yard;  a  lookout  was  placed  upon  the  top  of  the  house  for 
the  purpose  of  firing  upon  the  Indians;  the  gate  of  the  stockade  was  fastened  on  the 
inside  by  a  heavy  iron  bar.  The  neighboring  settlers  were  accustomed  to  gather 
here  for  safety  in  times  of  danger  from  the  Indians. 

One  of  the  traditions  is  that  Nathaniel  Batchelder  and  his  wife  and  two  chil¬ 
dren,  one  of  whom  was  Senator  Morrill’s  grandmother,  were  obliged  to  flee  to  her 
father’s  garrison  house  under  the  following  circumstances:  One  night  in  midwinter, 
while  the  husband  and  children  were  sleeping  and  the  wife  was  knitting  by  the 
bright  firelight,  she  heard  a  noise  in  front  of  the  house ;  she  hastily  covered  the  fire 
and  awakened  her  husband.  It  soon  became  apparent  that  Indians  were  at  the 
front  door.  Knowing  that  it  would  be  folly  to  attempt  to  defend  their  home,  they 
took  the  children,  and  a  gun,  and  made  their  way  from  the  back  of  the  house  to  the 
forest,  through  which  thev  fled  to  the  garrison  house.  When  they  reached  there 
she  was  so  overcome  with  fatigue  and  cold  that  she  fainted  at  the  door.  They  nar¬ 
rowly  escaped  death,  as  the  Indians  burnea  the  house  soon  after  the  inmates 
escaped. 

Feb.  23,  1756,  a  petition,  headed  by  Jonathan  Longfellow,  and  signed  by  twenty- 
four  others,  among  whom  was  Nathaniel  Batchelder,  was  presented  to  Gov.  Went¬ 
worth,  requesting  him  to  set  off  the  “Sow  west  paH  of  Nottingham”  as  a  new  town; 
it  had  been  set  off  as  a  parish  in  1750;  but  the  Governor  did  not  grant  this  request 
till  June  17,  1765,  when  the  sentiment  for  division  became  so  strong  that  the  people 
in  the  other  part  of  the  town  consented  to  it,  and  probably  the  Governor  was  paid  a 
good  sum  for  his  signature  to  the  order  establishing  the  new  town,  for  he  was  not 
accustomed  to  do  such  acts  gratuitously.  Moreover,  Batchelder  killed  a  nice,  fat 
deer  and  presented  it  to  Gov.  Wentworth  while  the  negotiations  were  going  on; 
this  circumstance  is  said  to  have  been  the  cause  of  naming  the  new  town  “Deer¬ 
field,”  the  Governor  was  so  pleased  with  his  present. 

For  some  time  previous  to  the  fight  at  Lexington  and  Concord,  the  people  of 
Nottingham  and  Deerfield  were  accustomed  to  meet  from  time  to  time  at  Netting-

ham  Square  for  drill  in  military  tactics.  The  square  is  about  three  miles  from  the 
Deerfield  Parade ;  the  former  was  the  home  of  the  Gilleys  and  Henry  Dearborn, 
then  a  young  doctor  there,  the  Bartletts  and  the  Butlers.  Dearborn  was  captain  of 
the  company  and  Nathaniel  Batchelder  was  a  member  of  it.  When  news  of  the 
fight  on  the  igth  of  April,  1775,  reached  Nottingham,  as  it  did  in  the  afternoon  of 
that  day,  this  company  of  patriots  speedily  rendezvoused  at  the  Square,  and  at 
early  twilight  started  for  Massachusetts,  arriving  at  Medford  by  sunrise  the  next 
morning,  April  20,  having  traveled  with  their  guns  and  equipments  a  distance  of 
50  miles  in  12  hours.  Every  man  was  on  foot,  and  reported  ready  for  duty  if  there 
was  any  fighting  to  be  done.  Other  companies  got  there  in  quick  time,  but  the 
Nottingham  company  beat  the  record  for  fast  marching. 

Captain  Dearborn’s  company  was  on  the  right  of  Col.  Stark’s  regiment  at  the 
battle  of  Bunker  Hill,  and  Nathaniel  Batchelder,  who  was  a  tall,  black  haired,  black 
eyed  man,  was  at  or  near  the  head  of  the  company.  They  were  behind  the  rail 
fence  which  was  covered  with  the  new  mown  grass;  Captain  Dearborn’s  men  were 
intent  on  cutting  down  the  officers  in  the  British  line.  When  any  of  them  discov¬ 
ered  one  he  would  instantly  exclaim:  “There,  see  that  officer!  let  us  have  a  shot  at 
him!"  Then  two  or  three  would  fire  at  the  same  moment  and  the  officer  was  sure 
to  fall. 

During  the  battle  an  officer  was  discovered  to  mount  near  the  position  of  Gen. 
Howe,  on  the  left  of  the  British  line,  immediately  in  front  of  Dearborn’s  company; 
he  rode  toward  the  left  of  Col.  Stark’s  regiment;  the  men  said:  “There,  there! 
see  that  officer  on  horseback;  let  us  fire!’’  The  commander.  Col.  Stark,  said:  “No, 
not  yet;  wait  until  he  gets  to  that  knoll — now!”  when  they  fired,  and  he  instantly 
fell  dead  from  his  horse.  It  proved  to  be  Major  Pitcairn,  the  distinguished  British 
officer.  Nathaniel  Batchelder  was  one  ot  the  men  who  fired  when  Pitcairn  fell;  it 
may  have  been  his  bullet  that  killed  him. 

Nathaniel  Batchelder’s  children  were  tall,  well  proportioned  and  handsome, 
especially  the  daughters,  with  black  hair  and  black  eyes,  according  to  the  traditions 
of  the  family.  The  daughters  were  the  belles  of  the  town,  most  estimable  women, 
and  very  fond  of  dancing. 

He  was  a  resident  of  Deerfield,  N.  H.,  and  at  the  breaking  out  of  the  Revolu¬ 
tionary  War  enlisted  with  his  sons  in  the  Continental  Army.  He  was  killed,  with 
his  son,  Stephen,  in  the  Battle  of  Bennington.

Stark’s  regiment  in  August,  1775,  at  Bunker  Hill. 

Nathaniel  Batchelder  was  a  soldier  in  Capt.  Levi  Spaulding’s  company  in 
April.  1775. 

Nathaniel  Batchelder  was  a  soldier  in  Capt.  Norris’  company  from  June  15, 
1775.  He  was  a  farmer,  was  born  in  1730,  and  resided  in  Deerfield.  Later  he  en¬ 
listed  in  Col.  McClary’s  regiment  for  three  years.  Later  was  a  corporal  in  Capt. 
Daniel  Gordon’s  company  in  Col.  Gilman’s  regiment,  to  re-inforce  the  Continental 
Armv  in  New  York  in  1778. 

Nathaniel  Batchelder  married  Mary  Longfellow,  who  was  daughter  of  Jonathan 
Longfellow,  and  his  wife  Mary  Clark,  who  was  son  of  Nathan  Longfellow  and  his 
wife  Mary  Greene,  who  was  son  of  William  Longfellow  and  his  wife  Ann  Sewall, 
sister  of  the  distinguished  Judge  Samuel  Sewall,  who  hung  several  witches  at 
Salem,  Mass.  William  Longfellow  was  the  immigrant  from  England,  where  he 
was  born  in  1657  and  came  to  this  country  about  1677.  His  ancestors  there  hav'e 
been  traced  back  to  1490. 

Henry  Wadsworth  Longfellow,  the  poet,  was  third  cousin  to  Mrs.  Capt.  Scales, 
he  being  son  of  Stephen,  who  was  son  of  Stephen,  who  was  son  of  Stephen,  who  was 
son  of  Stephen,  who  was  son  of  William  Longfellow,  the  immigrant. 

Nathaniel  Batchelder  was  a  soldier  in  the  Revolution ;  he  fought  at  the  battle 
of  Bunker  Hill  in  Capt.  (afterwards  General)  Henry  Dearborn’s  company.  Col. 
Stark’s  regiment,  stationed  at  the  rail  fence.  He  served  in  other  campaigns,  end¬ 
ing  with  the  battle  ot  Bennington,  in  August,- 1777,  where  he  died.  His  son  Ste¬ 
phen  also  was  in  the  same  company  with  the  father  and  gave  up  his  life  at  Ben¬ 
nington. 

From  Granite  Monthly,  Vol.  2,  p.  206:  “Nathaniel  Batchelder.  who  was  a 
brother-in-law  of  Col.  Cilley  (Joseph  of  Nottingham)  fought  in  the  battle  of  Bunker 
Hill,  under  Capt.  Dearborn  and  was  Adjutant  in  Col.  Drake’s  regiment,  which  did 
brave  service  in  the  battle  of  Stillwater,  Saratoga,  and  the  surrender  of  Burgoyne. 
He  died  of  fever  at  Valley  Forge,  March  18,  1778.” 

After  her  husband’s  death  Mrs.  Nathaniel  Batchelder  always  resided  with  Mrs.

b.  1769;  d.  June  5,  1861,  in  Barre,  Vt.  He.  was  born  near  New  Hampton,  and  resided 
there  until  he  was  of  age.  Soon  after  marriage  he  located  in  Plainfield,  Vt.,  where 
his  three  sons  always  resided.  He  was  a  farmer  all  his  life.  He  was  early  a  mem¬ 
ber  of  the  Congregational  church,  but  in  1802,  becoming  dissatisfied,  joined  the 
Methodists,  with  a  number  of  his  neighbors.  The  following  resolution  was  passed 
by  the  parent  church,  as  they  thought  he  was  surely  being  led  astray;  “Whereas 
our  brother,  Moulton  Batchelder,  has  violated  his  solemn  covenant  obligations  by 
neglecting  the  stated  meetings  of  the  church  on  the  Sabbath  and  at  other  times, 
and  going  after,  as  we  think,  false  teachers,  and  embracing  dangerous  errors  and 
sentiments,  derogatory  to  the  character  of  an  infinitely  wise  and  holy  God,  we  now, 
under  the  pressing  obligation  of  duty  we  owe  to  our  Lord  and  Savior  Jesus  Christ, 
have  undertaken  this  painful  and  bitter  labor,  and  we  hope  in  faithfulness  and 
prayer,  but  without  success.  Therefore,  according  to  the  rule  of  Christ’s  family, 
we  are  under  the  painful  necessity  of  saying  unto  you,  and  that  in  this  public 
manner,  that  for  these  reasons,  the  door  of  our  fellowship  and  communion  is  closed 
against  you,  and  you  are  no  longer  to  be  considered  of  this  church  and  body ;  but  as 
an  unprofitable  branch,  and  therefore  are  now  severed  from  this  body.  It  is  our 
humble  prayer  that  God  will  bless  this  our  unpleasant,  but  plain  duty  to  you,  and 
open  your  understanding  that  you  may  see  your  error,  and  give  you  repentance 
that  you  may  enjoy  his  favor  at  last,  and  be  gathered  with  all  of  the  redeemed  from 
among  men,  to  inhabit  the  new  Jerusalem,  where  Jesus  Christ  is  the  joy  and  the 
light  thereof. ’’  He  d.  Oct.  8,  1827:  res.  Plainfield,  Vt.

of  its  official  boards  with  satisfaction  and  esteem.  In  politics  Mr.

seven  years,  with  a  grand  record.  As  his  town  recognized  good 
abilities,  they  elected  him  as  town  clerk,  and  he  served  them  as  such

Fiske  was  elected  a  Representative  from  this  district  to  the  gen¬ 
eral  court,  1880,  redeeming  the  district  from  his  political  oppo¬

when  he  served  both  years  as  clerk  of  important  committees,  also 
using  his  knowledge  of  the  business  of  insurance  (which  he  had 
acquired  from  many  years  of  actual  practice)  in  improving  the 
insurance  laws  of  the  State  and  enacting  and  establishing  a  long 
needed  uniform  policy  of  insurance  for  all  companies  doing  busi¬ 
ness  in  this  State.  Mr.  Fiske  has  been  a  member  of  the  school 
board  for  many  years,  and  served  as  clerk.  Also  a  member  of

business  of  knitting  by  machinery  in  a  small  way,  which  grew  to 
large  proportions,  employing  at  times  sixty  hands  in  manufactur¬ 
ing  seamless  hosiery  (the  first  in  this  State),  knitted  goods,  and  a 
specialty  of  infants’  underwear,  all  of  which  found  ready  and 
profitable  sales.  Holliston  being  an  enterprising  and  progressive 
town,  concluded  to  advocate  and  encourage  the  building  of  an 
electric  railway  to  its  larger  neighbors,  and  thus  called  a  town 
meeting  and  elected  a  committee  to  proceed  for  the  best  interests 
of  the  town,  and  Mr.  Fiske  was  chosen  on  the  committee  and 
elected  as  its  clerk,  on  whom  fell  the  responsible  duties  of  formu¬ 
lating  a  contract  for  the  town,  also  supervising  the  survey  and 
location  of  the  railway  tracks,  locating  and  building  car  houses, 
and  whatever  was  of  interest  to  his  town.  Mr.  Fiske  being  of  a

to  the  widows  and  families  of  its  members.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Fiske 
being  firm  believers  in  a  higher  education  for  those  who  deserve 
it,  that  the  better  the  education  the  better  citizen,  that  the  edu¬ 
cated  man  or  woman  can  obtain  a  higher  position  in  society  and  a 
more  lucrative  situation  in  the  business  world,  and  acting  on  that 
line,  have  educated  their  children  accordingly.  Mr.  Fiske  was

H.,  in  1782.  He  was  a  farmer  by  occupation  and  settled  on  Bachelder  Hill  (named 
for  him),  where  he  cleared  the  farm  now  occupied  by  his  great  grandson,  N.  J. 
Bachelder.  This  is  one  of  the  few  farms  in  town  which  has  been  kept  in  the  family 
descendants  of  the  first  settler  without  ever  having  been  disposed  of  by  deed. 
Captain  Bachelder  was  a  man  of  great  physical  strength  and  energy,  and  reared  his 
family  of  five  children  to  the  attainment  of  the  best  moral  and  intellectual  advan¬ 
tages  of  the  place  and  time.  He  was  a  captain  in  the  old  town  militia.  Was  buried

Abigail  Drake,  dau.  of  Samuel,  b.  Sept.  24,  1784;  d.  Jan.  17,  1872.  Moses 

Batchelder  was  born  on  the  old  Batchelder  homestead  and  lived  to  an  age  of  79  yr. 
6  mo.  He  prospered  on  the  old  farm,  and,  in  1837,  erected  a  new,  substantial  house. 
In  1830  he  built  a  saw  mill.  In  1832,  Moses  joined  the  first  temperance  society  in 
the  town.  Ever  after  he  was  strictly  temperate.  He  represented  the  town  in  the 
state  legislature,  and  was  always  an  active,  public-spirited  man.  Moses’  father, 
David,  grandfather,  Josiah,  great  grandfather,  Nathaniel,  were  deacons  of  church. 
Reuben,  Moses’  brother,  became  deacon.  John  and  Emery,  the  sons  of  Reuben, 
became  deacon,  and  Warren,  son  of  John,  and  David,  son  of  Emery,  are  now 
deacons,  thus  making  six  generations  of  deacons  by  Batchelder  name  in  the  town. 
About  1824,  Moses,  and  other  prominent  leaders  of  the  Congregational  church, 
which  had  become  partly  Unitarian,  joined  themselves  to  the  orthodox  society  of 
Seabrook.  Four  men,  Moses  Batchelder,  Reuben  Batchelder,  Dr.  Edwin  Dearborn 
and  Col.  Jacob  Noyes,  built  a  new  church,  which  was  strictly  Congregational.  The 
church  still  stands  and  prospers.  When  Moses  died,  it  was  said  of  him  that  an 
honest  man  had  been  laid  in  the  grave.  He  lived  an  honest,  upright  life,  and  his 
memory  is  dear  to  his  descendants.  His  wife,  Abigail  Drake,  was  a  direct  descendant 
of  Sir  Francis  Drake.  His  grandmother,  Mary  Emory,  of  West  Newbury,  Mass., 
was  closely  related  to  the  first  wife  of  Hon.  Hannibal  Hamlin.  He  d.  July  ii,  1861;

teen  children,  several  of  whom  lived  to 
be  over  90  years  of  age.  Her  maiden 
name  was  Sally  Ring,  and  when  27 
years  old  she  married  Andrew  Batchel- 
der,  of  Loudon,  N.  H.  Four  children 
blessed  the  union,  of  whom  Col.  Cyrus 
T.  Batchelder,  with  whom  she  lives,  and 
Samuel  D.  Batchelder  of  Concord,  N.  H., 
survive.  Her  husband  died  in  1852.  In 
1857  she  removed  with  her  son,  Cyrus, 
to  Lawrence,  and  one  year  later  to 
Salem.  After  a  residence  of  eighteen 
months  in  Salem  they  returned  to  Law¬ 
rence,  where  they  remained  until  1868, 
when  they  came  to  this  town  and  have 
made  their  home  here  since.  Her  father 
died  when  he  was  90  years  old,  two  of 
her  sisters  lived  to  be  93,  while  twin 
brothers  lived  to  be  the  age  of  84  and  88. 
Mrs.  Batchelder  is  a  remarkably  well 
preserved  woman.  She  is  an  early  riser, 
and  takes  her  meals  regularly  with  the 
family.  She  goes  up  and  down  stairs 
without  assistance,  dresses  and  undresses  herself,  and  whenever  the  weather  is 
pleasant  takes  walks  outdoors.  She  takes  a  deep  interest  in  current  events  and 
takes  much  pleasure  in  rehearsing  scenes  and  incidents  during  any  part  of  the  pres¬ 
ent  century.  She  remembers  distinctly  the  day  when  George  Washington  died, 
Dec.  14,  1799.  With  the  exception  of  impaired  hearing,  she  retains  all  of  her 
faculties  to  a  remarkable  degree.  She  has  always  enjoyed  good  health,  and  in  her 
younger  life  was  very  strong.  She  lived  on  a  farm,  and,  in  addition  to  regular 
household  duties,  took  care  of  a  large  dairy.  Her  face  is  plump,  and  marked  with 
but  few  wrinkles.  She  is  of  short  stature,  but  her  form  is  erect  and  her  step 
elastic.  She  is  a  devout  Methodist,  and  up  to  a  few  years  ago  attended  service^ 
regularly.  Her  last  visit  to  Concord,  N.  H.,  was  in  1885,  and,  although  91  years 
old,  stood  the  journey  without  serious  fatigue.  She  has  five  grandchildren  and 
six  great-grandchildren.  Andrew  Batchelder  was  born  at  Hampton,  N.  H.  His 
parents  removed  to  Loudon,  N.  H.,  when  he  was  quite  young.  He  was  married 
at  Loudon  to  Sarah  Ring,  bought  a  farm  and  became  a  successful  farmer.  The 
results  of  this  union  were  four  children  and  a  long  and  happy  life.  He  d.  at  Loudon, 
loved  and  respected  by  all  who  knew  him.  He  d.  Feb.  16,  1852;  res.  Loudon,  N.  H.

Franklin’s  boyhood  was 
spent  in  Bath  and  Lew¬ 
iston,  and  his  love  for 
sculpture  was  early  de¬ 
veloped.  Having  a  fa¬ 
cility  for  portraiture,  he 
made  his  first  attempts 
in  that  line.  During  the 
last  two  years  of  the 
Civil  war  he  was  in 
Washington,  where  the 
members  of  fhe  cabinet 
and  officers  of  the  army 
and  navy  sat  to  him  for 
life-size  medallions. 

They  were  cast  in  bronze  and  most  of  them  were  purchased  by  the 
Union  League  of  Philadelphia.  In  1868  he  went  to  Rome,  Italy, 
where  he  has  since  resided.  He  visited  his  native  land  in  1888. 
His  more  important  works  are  the  statues  of  Roger  Williams,  in 
Washington  and  Providence;  William  King,  for  the  State  of 
Maine;  Oliver  P.  Morton,  in  Indianapolis;  Henry  W.  Longfellow 
(1887),  in  Portland;  “Medusa”  (1882);  “Jochebed  with  the  Infant 
Moses”  ;  "Grief  and  History,”  the  group  that  surmounts  the  naval 
monument  at  Washington;  “Galatea”  (1884);  “Penelope”;  “Mir¬ 
iam”;  “Washington  at  Valley  Forge”  ;  and  “The  Seraph  Abdiel,” 
from  “Paradise  Lost”  (1886).  Among  his  protrait  busts  are  those 
of  Abraham  Lincoln,  William  T.  Sherman,  David  D.  Porter, 
James  G.  Blaine,  Francis  Wayland,  and  Ulysses  S.  Grant  (1886).

N.  H.,  graduated  at  Water- 
ville  university,  IMaine,  1838; 
admitted  to  the  bar  in  1840. 

He  was  in  those  days  a 
democrat  and  was  elected  to 
the  Massachusetts  legisla¬ 
ture  in  1853  and  to  the  State 
senate  in  1859.  He  prac¬ 
ticed  law  in  Lowell,  Mass., 
and  became  prominent  in 
his  profession.  Previous  to 
the  Civil  war  he  was  twice 
a  candidate  for  governorship 
of  Massachusetts.  He  was 
a  delegate  to  the  National 
Democratic  Convention, 
held  in  Charleston,  S.  C.,  in 

1860,  and  took  part  in  the 
proceedings  of  the  ad¬ 
journed  convention,  held  m 
Baltimore,  as  there  was  a  second  secession  of  the  Southerners  on 
account  of  the  admission  of  the  Douglas  delegates  to  the  vacant 
seats,  when  he  retired.  At  the  beginning  of  the  Civil  war  he  was 
appointed  brigadier-general  of  the  State  militia,  and  on  April  17 
marched  to  Annapolis,  Md.,  with  the  8th  regiment,  to  command 
the  district  of  Annapolis,  including  Baltimore,  which  city  he  en¬ 
tered  on  May  13,  1861,  at  the  head  of  900  men,  and  occupied  with¬ 
out  opposition.  On  May  16,  1861,  he  was  appointed  major-general 
of  volunteers  and  given  command  of  the  department  of  Eastern 
Virginia,  with  headquarters  at  Fortress  Monroe.  While  he  was 
here  some  runaway  slaves  took  refuge  in  his  lines  and  he  refused 
to  deliver  them  to  their  masters,  saying  that  they  were  contraband 
of  war.  This  was  the  origin  of  the  term  “contraband,”  as  applied 
to  negroes. 

General  Butler  captured  Fort  Clark  and  Fort  Hatteras  in  August, 

1861.  In  March,  1862,  he  led  an  expedition  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico. 
After  Farragut’s  capture  of  New  Orleans,  Butler  commanded 
there  from  ilay  to  December,  and  administered  affairs  with  great 
vigor.  He  preserved  order  and  public  health,  and  armed  the  free 
colored  men.  Resentment  was  caused  by  his  hanging  William 
Mumford  for  hauling  down  the  United  States  flag  from  the  mint 
and  by  the  issue  of  “Order  No.  28,”  his  famous  “woman  order. ” 
Jefferson  Davis,  in  December,  1862,  issued  a  proclamation  declar¬ 
ing  him  to  be  an  outlaw.  While  in  New  Orleans  he  seized  $800,000 
which  had  been  deposited  in  the  office  of  the  Dutch  consul,  claim¬ 
ing  that  it  was  intended  to  buy  arms  for  the  confederates  with 
this  money;  but  the  government  ordered  him  to  return  it.  On 
Dec.  16,  1862,  he  was  recalled,  but  in  1863  was  placed  in  command 
of  Virginia  and  North  Carolina,  his  troops  being  afterward  known 
as  the  Army  of  the  James.  He  formed  a  plan  to  capture  Rich¬ 
mond  by  operations  from  the  south  side  of  the  James,  intending

to  co-operate  with  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  from  the  north,  but 
he  was  checked  by  (ieneral  Beauregard,  and  many  of  his  troops 
were  transferred  to  the  Army  of  the  Potomac. 

In  October,  1864,  he  was  in  New  York  suppressing  the  anti¬ 
draft  riots  and  afterward  was  sent  to  Fort  Fisher,  North  Carolina, 
He  was  removed  from  command  by  General  Grant,  and  returned 
to  .Massachusetts.  In  f  S66  he  was  elected  to  Congress  as  a  Repub¬ 
lican,  and  served  until  1879,  with  the  exception  of  the  year  1875-6. 
He  took  an  active  interest  in  the  reconstruction  of  the  Southern 
States,  and  also  in  the  impeachment  of  President  Johnson.  He 
was  the  unsuccessful  Republican  nominee  for  governor  of  Massa¬ 
chusetts  in  1871,  and  in  1878  and  1879  was  again  defeated  for  the 
same  office  on  the  ticket  of  the  Greenback  party  and  of  an  inde¬ 
pendent  Democratic  wing.  In  1882  he  was  elected  by  the  Demo¬ 
crats,  but  was  defeated  in  1883.  In  1884  he  ran  as  the  Greenback- 
Labor  candidate  for  President.  He  died  January  ii,  1893.  Ch. :

grateful  country  for  many  years  an  annual  stipend  of  $66.66.  He  was  one  of  the 
original  members  of  the  Congregational  Church  and  chosen  Deacon  in  1817,  which 
office  he  held  until  his  death.  He  was  a  good  man  and  highly  respected.  His 
funeral  sermon,  preached  at  Northwood,  N.  H.,  March  12,  1847,  by  Rev.  Elliot  C. 
Cogswell,  pastor  of  the  Congregational  Church,  was  published  in  1847;  8vo.  12 
pps. 

It  is  said  of  him  on  hearing  that  hostilities  had  commenced  with  a  neighbor  of 
his,  Benjamin  Johnson,  seized  their  arms  and  marched  at  once  towards  Boston. 
Marching  all  day  ana  the  following  night,  they  reached  the  scene  of  action  the  next 
morning. 

Simon  Batchelder,  of  Northwood,  was  born  there  in  1758.  He  was  a  farmer 
and  enlisted  in  Capt.  Winborn  Adams’  company  June  21,  1775.  The  following  year 
he  was  in  the  company  commanded  by  Capt.  Joseph  Chadler,  and  part  of  the  time 
was  Corporal;  served  in  Gen.  Poor’s  regiment. 

The  editor  of  the  N.  E.  Hist,  and  Gen.  Register  in  1853,  said:  “The  writer  re¬ 
members  to  have  seen  him  (Davis)  about  1812.  He  also  remembers  well  his  ex¬ 
cellent  son  (Dea.  Simon),  the  occasion  of  the  funeral  sermon,  who  was  truly  one  of 
the  best  men  that  it  has  ev'er  been  his  happiness  to  know.  His  manner  and  bearing 
to  young  men  and  boys  was  of  a  character  to  cause  them  to  love  and  respect  him. 
Many  days  have  been  passed  by  the  writer  in  his  company,  in  which  he  has  heard 
him  recount  his  expeditions,  perils  and  privations  in  the  Revolutionary  Army.’’ 

“Deacon  Batchelder’s  residence  was  a  little  south  of  the  turnpike,  some  half  a 
mile  from  the  well  known  residence  of  the  late  Jonathan  Clarke,  Esq.  He  was  a 
farmer  of  the  first  class,  for  the  time  and  place.  Situated  in  a  delightful  valley,  his 
farm  in  the  summer  and  autumnal  months  was  a  perfect  paradise.  Everything 
without,  as  well  as  within  the  buildings,  was  an  index  to  the  minds  of  the  pro¬ 
prietors,  neatness  and  order  striking  the  eye  at  every  point.  Such  are  a  few  recol¬ 
lections  of  a  most  honored  and  honorable  man,  and  it  is  a  source  of  regret  that  the 
space  here  allotted  will  not  allow  of  more  full  justice  to  his  memory.”  He  d.'  March

Mass.,  July  ig,  181O.  His  parents  having  moved  to  Salem,  Mass.,  when  he  was 
about  five  years  old,  his  primary  education  was  in  the  public  schools  of  that 
city.  He  was  there  engaged  in  mechanical  employment  until  1836,  when,  having 
prepared  himself  as  best  he  could — a  poor  boy — in  the  requisite  preliminary  studies, 
he  entered  Amherst  College  of  his  native  State,  in  the  fall  of  1836.  He  was  gradu¬ 
ated  with  the  degree  of  A.  B.  in  1840  (and,  some  two  or  three  years  subsequently.

received  that  of  A.  M.).  Intending  to  engage  as  a  teacher  in  the  extreme  South — 
school  year  there  commencing  in  January — immediately  upon  his  graduation  he  took 
charge,  as  principal,  of  the  Townshend  Female  Academy  at  Townshend,  Vermont, 
for  the  balance  of  the  year,  when  he  went  to  Livingston,  Sumpter  County,  Alabama, 
where  he  established  an  English  and  Classical  School,  in  which  he  was  engaged 
until  the  spring  of  1S44,  when,  his  health  failing,  he  left,  with  his  wife — Rebecca 
Darington  Bradford,  whom  he  had  married  in  Livingston,  and  with  two  slaves. 


which  she  had  inherited,  for  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  where  they  were  given  their  freedom. 
He  organized  a  high  school  for  colored  children  in  that  city.  He  there  united  with 
Dr.  Wm.  H.  Brisbane,  formerly  of  South  Carolina,  who  had  emancipated  some  30 
slaves,  in  the  weekly  issue  of  a  print  entitled  the  “Christian  Politician,’’  and  wrote 
an  “Address  to  Southern  Baptists’’  on  behalf  of  an  “Anti-Slavery  Convention’’  in 
Cincinnati,  which  was  published  in  said  periodical.  He  was  licensed  to  “preach”

by  the  Amherst  Baptist  Church  about  this  time,  and  supplied,  for  a  season,  an  Anti- 
Slavery  Baptist  Church  in  Cincinnati  with  written  sermons,  and  subsequently  then 
occupied  pulpits  in  Ohio,  where  he  sojourned,  in  the  vicinity  of  Cin.,  particularly  in 
La  Crosse,  Wis.,  and  Chicago,  as  occasion  called.  But,  deeming  he  was  better 
adapted  to  the  communication  of  his  thoughts  and  sentiments  through  the 
press,  than  through  attempted  extemporaneous  speech,  he  declined  to  be  for¬ 
mally  ordained  to  the  ministerial  profession,  though  frequently  urged  to  be  thus 
devoted.  From  1844  to  1847  he  became  the  principal  of  an  English  and  Clas¬ 
sical  School  in  Lebanon,  Ohio,  and  the  principal  of  the  Female  Academy  in  adjacent 
town  of  Hamilton,  Butler  Co.,  Ohio,  until  the  spring  of  1847,  when,  having  pur¬ 
chased  one-half  interest  in  the  Baptist  “Journal”  at  Columbus,  O.,  thither  he  re¬ 
moved.  June  30,  1848,  his  first  wife  died  in  Columbus.  In  1849  he  became  sole 
proprietor  of  said  paper,  purehased  the  Baptist  “Messenger”  of  Indianapolis,  united 
the  two  with  the  joint  name  of  “Journal  and  Messenger,”  and  removed  with  the  same 
to  Cincinnati,  Ohio.  April  22,  1850,  he  married  Margaret  P.  Cloud  of  Columbus, 
his  present  wife.  He  there  published  a  pamphlet  of  some  50  or  60  pages, 
entitled  “The  U.  S.,  the  West,  and  Ohio  as  Missionary  Fields.”  In  1856,  his  health 
failing,  he  sold  the  “Journal  and  Messenger”  and  removed  to  La  Crosse,  Wis.,  for 
recuperation.  In  1858-9  he  became  associate-editor  for  a  limited  period  of  the  “Am' 
Baptist,”  N.  Y.  City.  In  1862  he  purchased  one-third  (Jj)  interest  in  the  “Daily 
Journal”  of  Lafayette,  Ind.,  when,  its  materiality  having  been  utterly  destroyed 
in  1863  by  fire,  he  sold  his  remaining  interest  therein,  and  removed  to  Chicago  in 
1863-4  and  bought  a  book  manufacturing  establishment,  which  was  entirely  destroyed 
in  the  Great  Fire  of  1871.  He  had  published  a  small  book  on  the  “Genius  of  Ed¬ 
mund  Burke”  and  an  essay  on  “Societism,  and  the  Instrumentality  of  Individuals 
and  Churches  in  the  World’s  Evangelization,”  both  plates  and  the  books  in  print 
being  destroyed  in  that  “Great  Fire.”  In  1884  he  published  an  octavo  of  380  pages 
— “The  Light  of  Life”;  in  1887  an  octavo  of  446  pages — “The  Christ  in  Life.”  He 
now  has  a  manuscript  for  an  octavo  volume— “Edmund  Burke — A  Study  and  a 
Text,”  and  fora  pamphlet  of  some  60  pages  entitled  “Pernicious  Attorneyism 
Under  Anglo-American  Judicature.”  These  will  be  published  when  the  time  is 
propitious.  He  has  had  nine  children,  of  whom  four  only  are  alive.  Res.  Ravens-

Omaha  in  1887  and  organized  the  Carpenter  Paper  Company,  being 
its  president,  an  establishment  doing  business  in  a  greater  portion 
of  the  Trans-Mississippi  country.  Owing  to  ill  health,  Mr.  Car¬ 
penter  sought  to  resign  his  directorship  in  the  exposition  which 
was  held  in  Omaha  last  spring,  as  he  was  going  to  the  coast  for 
an  indefinite  period,  but  the  board  gave  him  a  leave  of  absence 
instead,  and  between  times,  while  not  looking  for  health  in  Cali¬

for  which  he  received  a  vote  of  thanks  from  his  co-laborers  on 
the  board.  Ch. :  Linnie  M.  Carpenter,  Olive  Ruth  Carpenter,

my  theological  studies  at  Lane  Seminary,  I  received  a  call  to  be¬ 
come  the  first  pastor  of  the  Cornerville  Church  in  connection  with 
the  church  in  Lawrence.  I  was  the  first  home  missionary  in  the

eastern  part  of  Washington  county.  My  first  meeting  houses  were 
unfinished  frame  or  log  school  houses.  At  Cornerville  I  preached 
my  first  sermon  in  the  school  house  where  we  continued  to  wor¬ 
ship  on  alternate  Sundays  for  nine  years  before  we  attempted  to 
erect  the  present  house  of  worship.  Here  we  worshipped  for  six 
years  more,  making  in  all  fifteen  years,  when  I  left  this  church 
and  supplied  the  churches  of  Lawrence,  Stanleyville  and  Cedar 
Narrows.

he  went  to  HolHston,  with  his  pack  upon  his  back,  to  seek  his  fortune,  and 
found  employment  at  the  shoe  business  with  the  late  Col.  Bragg  at  Bridgeville. 
He  established  himself  in  the  business  of  manufacturing  boots  and  shoes  about 
1820.  Remarried  Rhoda  Whiting,  of  West  Medway,  the  same  year,  with  whom  he 
lived  until  her  death.  During  his  early  life  his  opportunities  for  education  were 
limited  to  an  occasional  term  of  school,  which,  with  his  improvement  of  leisure 
hours,  constituted  the  entire  foundation  for  his  future  business  career.  Mr.  B. 
made  a  public  profession  of  religion  in  1858,  during  the  ministry  of  Rev.  J.  T. 
Tucker  of  Chicopee  Falls,  and  had  since  maintained  a  consistent  Christian  character. 
He  was  slow  in  forming  his  opinions,  not  forward  in  the  expression  of  his  views, 
firm  in  his  convictions  of  right,  and  unswerving  in  his  integrity.  In  his  intercourse 
with  his  fellow  men  he  was  conciliatory  in  his  demeanor,  always  counseling  a  peace¬ 
able  settlement  of  all  difficulties,  and  rarely,  if  ever,  referring  matters  to  the  courts 
for  settlement.  He  retired  from  business  in  1874,  having  witnessed,  during  his 
long  business  career,  many  changes  in  that  branch  of  industry.  He  commenced  by 
going  to  Boston  with  his  wagon,  taking  his  shoes  with  him  and  occupying  two  days 
in  the  journey.  His  trade  was  mostly  at  the  south  and  west.  He  kept  himself  well 
informed  on  business  matters  and  the  general  topics  of  the  day,  being  a  great 
reader.  The  last  active  duty  which  he  performed  was  to  visit  the  bank  on 
business,  his  disease  chronic  cystitis,  baffling  the  skill  of  eminent  medical  treat¬ 
ment.  Of  the  six  children  born  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Batchelder  but  one  is  now  living, 
namely,  Mrs.  S.  S.  Nichols,  of  this  town  •  four  grandchildren  also  surviving  him.  Mr. 
B.  has  held  the  various  town  offices,  represented  the  town  in  General  Court,  and  for 
the  past  twenty-two  years  had  held  the  office  of  president  of  Holliston  bank  for  a 
term  of  years,  previously  being  a  Director  of  the  Milford  National  Bank,  and  by 
his  uniform  courtesy  and  urbanity  won  the  affection  and  esteem  of  all  with  whom 
he  came  in  contact.  His  success  in  the  battle  of  life  was  due  in  a  great  measure  to 
the  assistance  of  his  devoted  and  faithful  wife,  who  was  possessed  of  a  remarkable 
executive  ability,  and  his  wealth  has  been  estimated  at  $200,000.  To  those  just 
starting  in  life  such  a  career  exhibits  with  great  clearness  the  necessities  of  possess¬ 
ing  honor  and  integrity  in  business,  economy,  industry  and  perseverance  in  every 
event  of  life,  and  a  fixed  Christian  principle  in  all  that  we  do.  He  d.  Jan.  25,  1876;

Batchelder,  third  son  of  Odlin  and  Huldah  (Searle)  Batchelder,  grandson  of  Lieut. 
Benjamin  and  Dorothea  (Prescott)  Batchelder,  of  Candia,  N.  H.,  and  great  grand¬ 
son  of  Dea.  John  Batchelder,  of  Kensington,  N.  H.,  was  b.  in  Candia,  N.  H.  He 
removed  with  his  parents  in  childhood  to  Andover,  N.  H.,  receiving  a  scanty  com¬ 
mon  school  education,  and  at  the  age  of  eighteen  years  leaving  his  father’s  house 
and  walking  to  Holliston,  Mass.,  where  he  learned  the  trade  of  shoemaking  of  his 
elder  brother,  William,  who  had  preceded  him  four  years  previously.  In  1828  he 
built  the  homestead,  married  Emeline  Mason,  of  Medway,  and  soon  settled  down  to 
the  business  he  followed  so  successfully  for  sixty  years  amid  all  its  vicissitudes,  until 
ill  health  compelled  his  retirement  in  1889,  establishing  a  reputation  for  honest 
work  and  integrity  of  character  second  to  none  of  his  contemporaries.  At  this 
early  beginning  almost  the  only  machinery  used  was  the  “Lapstone.”  The  shoe 
pegs  were  made  by  hand,  often  by  the  apprentices  after  the  day’s  work  was  over  for 
the  next  day’s  supply. 

No  railroads  being  in  existence,  transportation  was  furnished  by  horse  and 
wagon  borrowed  of  some  kindly  disposed  farmer  carting  the  goods  to  market  and 
returning  supplies  of  leather  for  future  use.  His  leisure  time  was  devoted  to  read¬ 
ing  and  study,  which,  with  his  limited  instruction  in  youth,  laid  the  foundation  for 
his  long  life  of  usefulness.  Painfully  familiar  in  early  life  with  the  evils  of  intem¬ 
perance,  he  became  the  life-long  enemy  of  the  drink  habit. 

He  was  the  foe  of  shams,  a  leader  in  many  of  the  reforms  of  the  day,  with  ideas 
rather  in  advance  of  his  associates.  He  was  a  man  of  great  benevolence,  often  seek¬ 
ing  to  conceal  his  identity  in  matters  of  helping  the  needy.  He  was  essentially  the 
friend  of  the  poor.  In  religious  belief  he  was  a  Congregationalist,  becoming  a  mem¬ 
ber  of  that  church  with  his  wife  the  year  of  their  marriage.  In  politics  a  Republi¬ 
can,  but  never  a  seeker  aftei  office.  His  wife  dying  in  1883  he  married  in  1885  Mrs. 
Julia  A.  (Batchelder)  Collins,  daughter  of  John  Morrill  Batchelder,  of  Kingstown, 
N.  H.,  who  survives  him.  He  d.  Dec.  26,  1891,  mourned  by  his  associates  and  re¬

He  was  a  firm  temperance  advocate,  a  thorough  hater  of  evil  in  all  its  forms  and

the  foot  of  Kearsarge  Mountain,  one-fourth  of  a  mile  from  Wilmot  line  and  one- 
third  of  a  mile  from  Black  Water  river.  In  1827  he  went  to  live  with  an  older 
brother  in  Holliston,  Mass.,  where  he  worked  in  a  shoe  shop  for  ten  (10)  years.  In 
1833  he  united  with  the  Baptist  church  in  West  Medway,  Mass.,  and  retained  his 
membership  there  for  ten  (10)  years.  In  1834  still  worship  in  the  shoe  shop  he  be¬ 
gan  fitting  for  college,  reciting  his  lessons  at  the  Holliston  high  school,  but  studying 
at  home  in  the  shop.  In  September,  1837,  he  entered  the  junior  class  in  Brown 
University,  from  which  institution  he  graduated  in  1839.  He  immediately  entered 
the  Theological  Seminary  at  Newton,  Mass.,  from  which  he  graduated  in  1842. 
Ordained  in  1843  at  Medway,  Mass.,  and  immediately  took  the  pastor  charge  of  the

His  parents  were  Odlin  and  Huldah  L.  (Searle)  Bachelor.  He  studied  in  Holliston 
and  Wilbraham,  Mass.,  and  at  Kents  Hill  Academy,  !Me.,  also  at  the  medical  schools 
in  connection  with  Dartmouth  College,  N.  H.,  and  Harvard  College,  Mass.  In  1831 
he  was  converted,  and  seven  years  later  license  to  preach  was  granted.  He  was 
ordained  in  Lowell,  Mass.,  and  in  May,  1840,  was  married  to  Catherine  Palmer. 
They  had  accepted  appointments  as  missionaries  to  India,  and  sailed  the  same 
month,  reaching  Calcutta  in  September,  and  Balasore  in  October.  He  then  entered

he  has  continued,  with  but  short  seasons  of  rest  in  America,  to  the  present  time.

Mass.,  April  20,  1816;  d.  Jan,  8,  1881;  m.  2d. - .  Tappan  Hilton  Batch- 

elder,  son  of  Nathan  Batchelder,  was  born  at  Bridgewater,  N.  H.  While  he  was 
quite  young  his  father  moved  to  New  Hampton.  From  the  time  he  was  nine  years 
old  till  about  sixteen  years  of  age  he  lived  most  of  the  time  from  home.  At  about 
that  time  his  father  removed  to  Holliston,  Mass.,  and  he  accompanied  him.  He 
was  now  brought  under  an  entirely  new  set  of  influences.  The  early  temperance 
reformation  was  then  exciting  interest;  he  became  interested  and  took  the  pledge. 
A  revival  of  religion  also  soon  after  occurred,  in  connection  with  the  labors  of  the 
Methodists,  and  during  its  progress  he  embraced  Christianity  and  became  connected 
with  that  people.  He  was  soon  after  appointed  a  class  leader,  it  was  not  long  till 
the  subject  of  the  ministry  began  to  occupy  his  thoughts.  Beside  the  reluctance  of 
his  own  mind  friends  opposed  the  idea  of  his  entering  the  ministry,  but  his  convic¬ 
tions  of  duty  increased  until  he  decided  to  yield  to  them,  and  become  a  preacher. 
An  exhorter’s  license  was  offered  him,  but  his  sentiments  on  the  subject  of  baptism 
forbade  him  to  think  of  becoming  an  administrator  in  the  Methodist  church.  Ac¬ 
cordingly  he  changed  his  ecclesiastical  relations  and  joined  the  P'ree  Will  Baptist 
church  at  Waterford,  Mass.,  then  under  the  charge  of  M.  W.  Burlingame.  He 
now  received  license  to  preach,  and  was  invited  to  labor  with  the  Free  Will  Baptist 
church  in  Grafton,  Mass.  In  1840  he  received  a  call  to  preach  for  the  Second  Free 
Will  Baptist  church,  of  Smithfield,  at  Georgiaville,  R.  L,  whither  he  and  his  wife 
removed  in  the  same  year.  He  remained  here  two  and  one-half  years,  and  was 
ordained  in  October,  1841.  Upon  leaving  Georgiaville  he  became  pastor  of  the 
church  in  Pawtucket,  R.  I.,  here  he  remained  three  and  one-half  years.  He  re¬ 
ceived  a  call  to  the  Free  Will  Baptist  church,  Taunton,  Mass.,  whither  he  removed 
his  family  January,  1846;  here  he  remained  till  April,  1855,  when  he  removed  his 
family  to  Clinton  Co.,  la. ;  here  he  remained  till  the  spring  of  1865,  preaching  as  he 
had  opportunity.  In  the  spring  of  1865  he  removed  his  family  to  Jones  Co.,  la., 
having  bought  a  farm  there.  He  here  became  pastor  of  the  Free  Will  Baptist 

church  of  Clay,  Jones  Co.,  la.,  for  some  time.  In  the  fall  of  1869  he  removed  to 

Welton,  Clinton  Co.,  la.,  preaching  for  the  church  there.  Here  he  remained  three 
years,  he  then  returned  to  Jones  Co.  In  the  fall  of  1876,  having  sold  his  farm  in 

Jones  Co.  and  bought  again  in  Linn  Co.,  la.,  he  with  his  family  removed  to  the 

same,  where  he  resided  at  the  time  of  his  death,  Oct.  29,  1885.  Having  been  pastor 
of  the  Central  City  and  Waubeak  Free  Will  Baptist  churches  a  part  of  the  time.

he  was  twenty-one  years  of  age,  when  he  commenced  to  work  for  the  stage  com¬ 
pany  on  the  line  between  Boston  and  Portland,  which  passed  through  Hampton 
Falls.  After  the  Eastern  railroad  was  built  he  ran  a  coach  from  Amesbury  to  New-

Republican  and  took  great  interest  in  the  welfare  of  the  State  and  nation.  When

them  when  it  was  in  his  power  to  do  so.  He  was  active  in  church  work  and  for 
many  years  was  a  deacon  in  the  Congregational  church  in  Amesbury.  He  died,

there  May  7,  1846,  Mary  Izette  Greene,  b.  March  8,  1823.  He  is  a  farmer.  John 
Batchelder,  youngest  son  of  Reuben  and  Betsy  Batchelder,  was  born  in  Hampton  Falls. 
He  married  Mary  Izette  Greene.  According  to  the  custom  in  those  days  he  was  re¬ 
tained  on  the  homestead  to  care  for  his  parents  in  their  declining  years.  His  great 
executive  ability  caused  him  to  be  placed  in  many  positions  of  trust.  He  was  a 
staunch  Republican,  and  took  great  interest  in  political  affairs.  He  was  always 
faithful  in  attending  the  primaries,  and  used  his  influence  to  nominate  upright  men 
to  office.  Several  times  he  served  on  the  school  board.  He  was  for  four  years  one 
of  the  selectmen  of  Hampton  Falls,  and  was  twice  elected  to  represent  the  town  in 
the  New  Hampshire  legislature.  He  became  one  of  the  trustees  of  Dearborn 
Academy  in  1870,  a  position  he  now  holds.  He  in  1840  united  with  the  First  Evan¬ 
gelical  Congregational  Church  of  Seabrook  and  Hampton  Falls,  N.  H.  He  in¬ 
herited  the  family  trait  of  loyalty  to  the  church  and  considered  no  sacrifice  too  great 
to  be  made  for  its  welfare.  In  1866  he  was  the  chief  planner  and  manager  in  ex¬ 
pending  two  thousand  ($2,000)  on  repairs  of  the  church  building,  it  having  been 
closed  for  six  years. 

He  was  treasurer  of  the  Congregational  Society  from  1867  to  1874.  Fie  served 
as  clerk  of  this  society  from  1870  to  1890.  Each  year  since  1867  he  has  been  elected 
chairman  of  the  wardens  of  the  society,  a  position  which  he  now  (1897)  holds.  In

1892  he  was  one  of  the  committee  to  move  and  remodel  the  church,  and  build  horse 
sheds.  The  work  was  satisfactorily  completed  at  an  expense  of  three  thousand 
dollars.  He  has  always  been  regular  in  his  attendance  at  church,  no  weather  being 
too  severe  to  prevent  his  being  found  in  his  accustomed  place.  For  12  (twelve)  suc¬

was  twice  married,  the  name  of  his  first  wife  being  Nancy  Rollins,  by  whom  he 
had  (at  least)  two  sons  and  several  daughters.  Both  sons  grew  to  manhood,  the 
elder,  Gen.  Geo.  Bachelder,  of  Gardner,  Me.,  the  younger,  Charles  G.  Bachelder, 
who  lived  at  the  old  home  in  Hollowell.  He  was  a  prosperous  merchant  and  built 
and  for  many  years  occupied  the  store  on  Water  st.  now  used  as  a  National  Bank 
building.  He  also  built  a  roomy  and  substantial  two-story  brick  dwelling  house 
on  Center  street,  where  he  lived  till  he  died  in  the  early  fifties.  He  was  a  member 
of  the  “Old  South”  Congregationalist  Church.  Several  daughters  were  born,  but 
I  think  none  attained  middle  age  or  married.  When  he  died  his  hair  was  black 
as  in  early  youth,  though  he  was  well  advanced  in  years.  He  died  in  Hollowell

eldest  son  of  Jonathan  and  Lydia  Owen  (Crane)  Tenney.  His 
father  d.  in  1865,  aged  fig  years.  His  mother  is  still  living  in  West 
Concord,  N.  H.,  in  her  i02d  year.  Prof.  Tenney  graduated  from 
Dartmouth  College  in  1843,  in  1846  received  the  degree  of  A.  M., 
and  in  1880  of  Ph.D.  from  his  Alma  Mater.  He  was  identified 
with  schools  in  Pembroke  and  Manchester,  N.  H.,  and  in  Law¬ 
rence  and  Pittsfield,  Mass.,  as  principal,  in  all  of  which  he  achieved 
great  success.  In  1854  he  was  the  originator  of  the  New  Hamp¬ 
shire  .State  Teachers’  Association  and  its  president  for  two  years. 
In  1857  he  became  principal  of  the  Elmwood  Literary  Institute, 
Boscowen,  N.  H.,  and  successfully  sustained  it  through  the  next 
nine  years  of  financial  depression  and  Civil  War.  In  1866  he 
opened  a  family  and  day  school — Silver  Lake  Institute — at  New¬ 
ton  Centre,  five  miles  from  Boston,  but  the  health  of  his  family 
requiring  the  change,  he  removed  to  New  York  in  1868;  was 
superintendent  of  schools  in  Owego,  and  elected  Deputy  Supre- 
intendent  of  Public  Instruction  for  the  State  of  N.  Y.  in  1874. 
Later,  he  became  the  librarian  of  the  Y.  INI.  A.  in  Albany,  and 
his  last  years  were  spent  in  literary  work.  His  death  occurred  at 
Albany,  Feb.  24,  1888.  Dr.  Tenney  was  a  man  of  quiet  and  retir¬ 
ing  disposition,  ardently  devmted  to  his  family,  true  and  constant 
in  his  friendship,  intimate  with  few,  but  courteous  to  all.  Patient 
in  details,  diligent  and  methodical  in  work,  his  efficiency  was  seen 
when  results  were  reached.  In  religious  faith  he  was  a  Congre- 
gationalist  and  for  over  forty  years  a  member  of  that  church,  and 
was  licensed  as  a  preacher  by  the  Susquehanna  Cong.  Asso.  He 
was  a  friend  to  all  good  causes  and  did  all  in  his  power  to  pro¬ 
mote  them,  whether  social,  moral,  benevolent,  literary,  patriotic 
or  religious.

“jMrs.  Tenney  was  a  native  of  Somersworth,  N.  H.  Early  in  life 
she  manifested  decided  literary  and  musical  tastes,  in  childhood 
preferring  study  to  play,  and  books  to  dolls.  Mathematics,  music 
and  the  languages  were  her  especial  delight,  and  to  these  she  ap¬ 
plied  herself  with  such  assiduity  that  at  fourteen,  Greek,  Latin, 
French,  German,  Spanish  and  Italian  had  been  added  to  her  En¬ 
glish  course,  and  at  that  age  she  was  also  an  organist  in  a  church 
in  her  native  village. 

“She  was  not  only  a  graduate  of  the  Rhode  Island  State  Normal 
School,  but  later  a  teacher  in  the  same  institution,  and  was  also 
the  associate  principal  of  Elmwood  Literary  Institute,  Boscowen, 
N.  H.,  and  of  Prof.  Lincoln’s  Young  Ladies’  School,  Providence, 
R.  I. 

“In  1866  she  married  Prof.  Jonathan  Tenney,  Ph.D.,  and  since 
1874  her  home  has  been  at  Albany,  N.  Y.,  where  she  is  surrounded 
by  a  wide  circle  of  friends.  She  is  a  member  of  the  executive 
committee  of  the  Congregational  Woman’s  Home  Miss.  Union  of 
the  State  of  New  York,  and  president  of  the  Hudson  River  Asso¬ 
ciation. 

“In  addition  to  societies  of  general  interest,  she  has  been 
actively  associated  with  the  philanthropic,  musical  and  literary  in¬ 
terests  of  her  own  citj',  occupying  many  positions  of  trust  in  con¬ 
nection  with  them. 

“At  the  State  convention  of  the  Woman’s  Christian  Temperance 
Union,  of  New  York,  held  in  Binghamton  in  1887,  Mrs.  Tenney 
was  elected  treasurer  of  the  State  organization,  and  at  each  suc¬ 
cessive  convention  has  been  re-elected.  Her  taste  for  mathematics 
serves  her  well  in  this  important  relation.  As  a  treasurer,  she  is 
the  peer  of  any — prompt,  reliable,  accurate.  She  looks  after  the 
minutest  details,  and  to  her  watchfulness  much  of  the  financial 
prosperity  of  the  State  Union  is  due. 

“In  1888  a  widow’s  sorrow  came  to  Mrs.  Tenney  by  the  death 
of  her  noble  husband.  Two  sons  survived  him — boys  of  nine  and 
twelve  years,  whose  education  and  training  since  that  time  have 
devolved  upon  her. 

“Her  organ  voluntaries  at  the  annual  conventions  evince  a  mas¬ 
ter’s  skill  and  delight  all  who  listen. 

“The  Granite  State  may  well  be  proud  of  its  gifted  daughter, 
and  the  Empire  State,  especially  the  Woman’s  Christian  Tem¬ 
perance  Union,  rejoices  in  her  possession.’’

who  married  Wm.  Henry;  Narcissa,  who  married  Joseph  Henry,  and  Sias,  who 
died  unmarried  at  eg  years  of  age. 

In  1S13,  May  14.  this  wife  died,  leaving  an  infant  nine  days  old,  and  two  other 
young  children  deprived  of  a  mother’s  care.  In  October  of  the  same  year  he  mar¬ 
ried  Esther  Smith,  who  had  been  a  kind  nurse  during  the  mother’s  last  illness  and 
proved  a  kind  fostermother  to  the  young  children. 

About  this  time  he  removed  to  lot  No.  2,  first  range  of  the  same  town,  where 
four  children  were  born,  viz.,  Smith  E.,  b.  1815;  Hannah,  b.  1817;  Betsey,  b.  182*1, 
and  Milton  J.,  b.  1824. 

After  the  death  of  this  wife  in  1844,  he  married  Charlotte  Bachelder  (Mrs.  San¬ 
born)  Oct.  17,  1845.  She  died  Aug.  i,  1S48.  Jan.  19,  1853,  he  married  Mary  Sloane 
(Jlrs.  Norton),  who  died  April  29,  1880.  The  last  wives  bore  no  children  to  him. 

Jethro  Bachelder  was  a  successful  farmer,  who  took  an  active  interest  in 
municipal,  political,  educational  and  religious  affairs.  He  was  an  ardent  Tory  in 
politics,  always  striving  to  protect  and  promote  the  best  interests  of  his  country.  He 
was  instrumental  in  building  and  maintaining  Hatley  Academy  and  high  school, 
which  has  turned  out  some  of  the  best  men  in  the  country.  Of  this  institution  he 
was  one  of  the  trustees  until  he  resigned  on  account  of  the  infirmities  of  old  age. 

The  family  were  members  of  the  Episcopal  church,  which  service  was  held  in 
what  is  now  called  the  “old  church,’’  one  and  one-half  miles  north  of  the  village, 
until  1826,  when  the  present  church  of  St.  James  was  built  at  Hatley  village  He 
aided  materially  in  the  erection  of  this  church  and  was  one  of  its  wardens  for  many 
years.  In  1846  he  transterred  the  homestead  to  his  son,  Milton  J.,  with  whom  he 
spent  his  declining  years  resting  from  his  labors.  He  died  August  i,  1866,  in  the 
82d  year  of  his  age.  Res.  Stansiead,  P.  Q.

March  31,  1832,  Electa  Kellam,  b.  April  28,  1808;  d.  1845.  He  had  little  schooling 
help  and  carried  on  his  father’s  farm  at  13.  At  18  an  older  brother,  a  tanner  by 
trade,  took  the  farm,  and  Daniel,  being  dissatisfied,  left  home  with  a  brother  older; 
started  on  foot  for  Montreal,  but  did  not  reach  there,  but  started  a  small  tannery 
and  tavern  at  an  English  and  American  settlement  called  Rougemont.  Four  years 
after,  finding  that  business  unprofitable,  bought  two  farms  joining  in  1822  (which 
their  two  youngest  sons  ovvn  at  i>resent  time).  These  farms,  mostly  covered  with 
timber,  meant  plenty  of  work  for  those  hardy  pioneers.  Bat  they  were  equal  to 
the  task,  ready  for  any  emergency.  First  in  loyalty  to  the  crown  in  1837,  taking 
an  active  part  in  putting  down  the  rebellion  in  the  fight  in  St.  Charles,  etc.  First 
in  military  duty,  assisting  and  helping  to  maintain  the  militia,  bearing  the  honor¬ 
able  title  of  lieutenant-colonel  at  his  death.  He  always  took  a  leading  part  in 
establishing  a  church,  bearing  a  large  share  of  the  expense.  Assisted  in  starting 
schools;  initiated  the  carrying  of  the  mails  between  Sherbrooke  and  Montreal;  was 
first  postmaster  in  Rougemont;  a  justice  peace;  progressive  farmer.  He  lived 
a  charitable,  upright,  honorable  man.  He  died  a  much  regretted  friend.  He  d.

8c6.  DR.  NATHAN  BATCHELDER  (Nathaniel,  Nathaniel,  Nathan,  Na¬ 
thaniel,  Nathaniel,  Nathaniel,  Stephen)  born  East  Kingston,  N.  H.,  Nov.  28,  i8co; 
m.  at  Union,  Me.,  Jane  Gordon,  b.  July  i,  1804;  d.  Nov.  12,  1858.  He  was  brought 
up  on  a  farm  until  he  was  nineteen  years  of  age,  when  he  started  out  on  his  own 
account.  He  went  into  the  wilderness  and  built  a  saw  mill  and  followed  lumbering 
until  his  health  gave  out.  Later  he  studied  medicine  and  practiced  his  profession 
until  his  death. 

Organization. — Nathan  Bachelder  and  forty-one  others  petitioned  the  Governor 
and  council  that  the  light  infantry,  commanded  by  Capt.  Samuel  Stone,  might  be  dis¬ 
banded  and  that  they  might  be  formed  into  a  rifle  company.  The  measure  was 
approved  by  the  officers  commanding  the  regiment,  brigade,  division,  and  by 
Capt.  Stone,  most  of  whose  men  were  among  the  petitioners.  It  was  alleged  that 
the  light  infantry  was  small  in  number  and  not  fully  officered  and  not  easily  re¬ 
cruited.  The  committee  of  the  council  reported  favorably  June  12,  i8tg,  and  the 
report  was  accepted  by  the  Governor  on  the  same  day.  June  14  the  adjutant- 
general  issued  his  orders  accordingly.  They  passed  down  from  the  major-general 
June  21;  from  the  brigadier-general  July  6,  and  from  Col.  Isaac  G.  Reed  Aug.  g. 
The  meeting  for  election  of  officers  and  organization  was  held  Aug.  23.  The 
contpany  was  recruited  by  voluntary  enlistment  within  the  regiment. 

Dress. — The  dress  consisted  of  short  blue  round  jackets  single-breasted,  trimmed 
with  yellow  ferret  and  ball  buttons;  of  pantaloons  with  a  row  of  buttons  down 
each  leg  on  the  outside  seam,  with  three  rows  at  the  bottom,  six  buttons  high; 
and  of  thin  half  boots  and  of  white  neck  handkerchiefs  and  white  vests.  The 
leather  caps  had  a  yellow  strap  painted  round  them  and  a  strip  of  bear  skin,  about 
three  inches  wide,  running  from  the  brow  over  the  head  to  the  back  of  the  neck. 

The  rifles,  about  forty  in  number,  were  purchased  in  1820  for  fifteen  dollars 
each,  with  merchantable  boards  at  nine  dollars  per  thousand.  Upon  each  of  them 
were  stamped  the  words  “Union  Rifle  Company.” 

Officers. — John  Bachelder,  captain,  Aug.  23,  i8ig,  lieutenant-colonel,  March 
3,  1823;  discharged  Aug.  27,  1823.  Lewis  Bachelder,  lieutenant,  Aug.  23,  i8ig;

following  is  from  a  Lowell  paper:  The  funeral  of  the  late  Nathaniel  J.  N.  Bacheller 
was  held  Wednesday  at  i  o’clock  at  his  residence  on  Andover  street,  and  was  largely 
attended  by  his  personal  friends  and  acquaintances,  and  also  by  representatives 
of  business  firms  of  this  city  and  Boston.  A  committee  from  the  board  of  trustees 
of  the  Washington  Savings  Bank  was  likewise  in  attendance.  The  service  was  led 
by  Rev,  Dr.  C.  F.  Rice,  of  Cambridge,  a  former  pastor  at  St.  Paul’s  Church,  and  touch¬ 
ing  remarks  were  added  by  Rev.  C.  J.  Wigren.  of  the  Swedish  ^Methodist  Church,  of 
which  church  the  deceased  had  been  a  trustee  from  the  time  it  was  established. 
Rev.  F.  O.  Hall,  of  the  First  Universalist  Church,  added  his  tribute  to  the  worth 
of  the  deceased,  and  was  followed  by  Rev.  Dr.  W.  H.  Thomas,  of  Lynn,  recently  of 
St.  Paul’s  Church,  who  had  general  charge  of  the  arrangements.  In  the  course  of 
the  remarks  of  the  latter  he  referred  to  a  Jetter  he  had  received  from  a  former 
pastor  of  the  deceased,  which  we  reproduce  as  follows; 

East  Boston,  Feb.  19,  1895. 

My  Dear  Friend: 

I  am  sorry  I  cannot  be  at  the  funeral.  I  have  to  bury  one  of  my  own  prominent 
members  at  the  same  hour.  Mr.  Bacheller  was  a  good  man.  The  serenity  and 
trust  with  which  he  considered  his  condition  and  looked  into  the  future  when  I 
visited  him  last  Friday  was  extraordinary.  I  never  witnessed  anything  like  it. 
It  was  a  great  comfort  to  myself.  He  was  ready  to  go  and  expected  to  meet  God 
in  peace.  I  greatly  regret  I  am  prevented  from  being  at  the  funeral. 

Truly  yours,  Frederick  Woods,  D.D. , 

Pastor  Saratoga  Street  M.  E.  Church,  Boston. 

The  rites  were  closed  by  Rev.  F.  K.  Stratton,  the  pastor  of  St.  Paul’s  Church, 
who  pronounced  the  benediction.  The  singing  was  by  a  male  quartette,  consisting 
of  Messrs.  Leach,  Sturtevant,  Wirt  and  Farrington.  The  services  throughout  were 
of  a  very  impressive  character.  There  was  quite  a  number  of  beautiful  floral  em¬ 
blems  upon  tne  casket,  testimonials  of  the  personal  friends  and  ousiness  associates 
of  the  deceased.  The  remains  were  Thursday  morning  conveyed  to  Saco,  Me. 
(the  native  place  of  Mrs.  Bacheller,  and  his  home  for  many  years),  for  interment  in 
Laurel  Hill  Cemetery..

General  Batchelder  was  born  in  Meredith,  N.  H.  He  enlisted

war,  and  was  appointed  regimental  quartermaster,  First  Regi¬ 
ment,  New  Hampshire  Volunteers,  April  30,  1861.  Fifteen  days 
after  his  appointment  he  had  his  regiment  uniformed,  armed  and 
equipped,  and  field  transportation  provided  for  baggage,  tents 
and  supplies.  This  comprehensive  grasp  of  details  and  great 
executive  ability  brought  him  to  the  attention  of  field  commanders, 
and  secured  for  him  rapid  promotion. 

He  wa.s  appointed  captain  and  assistant  quartermaster  and  as¬ 
signed  to  duty  as  chief  quartermaster  of  the  corps  of  observation 
in  August,  1861;  chief  quartermaster.  Second  Division,  Second

June,  1864;  colonel  and  chief  quartermaster.  Army  of  the  Poto¬

It  was  as  chief  quartermaster  of  the  army  of  the  Potomac  that 
his  powers  were  fullest  displayed,  having  charge  of  the  immense 
baggage  trains  of  that  great  force,  comprising  some  5,000  wagons 
and  30,000  horses  and  mules,  on  the  campaign  from  the  Rapidan 
to  the  James,  which  he  handled  with  consummate  skill.

in  the  regular  service  in  February,  1865,  and  from  that  date  until 
i88g  he  served  as  assistant  and  chief  quartermaster  at  various 
depots,  posts,  and  departments.  On  July  10,  1890,  he  was  ap¬ 
pointed  quartermaster-general  of  the  army  by  President  Harrison, 
and  has  administered  the  exacting  and  multifarious  duties  of  that 
office  with  great  ability.  During  his  administration  as  quarter¬ 
master-general  the  following  new  posts  were  built:  Fort  Crook, 
Nebraska;  Fort  Bradv,  Michigan;  Fort  Bliss,  Texas;  Fort  Yel¬ 
lowstone,  Wyoming;  Fort  Ethan  Allen,  Vermont;  post  near  Little 
Rock,  Ark.;  Fort  Harrison,  Montana,  and  Plattsburg  barracks.

Not  less  important  has  been  the  remodeling  of  the  following 
posts:  David’s  island.  New  York  harbor;  Columbus  barracks, 
Ohio;  Jefferson  barracks,  Missouri;  Presidio,  of  San  Francisco, 
Cal. ;  and  Governor’s  island.  New  York  harbor. 

Secretary  Lament  addressed  the  following  letter  to  Gen.  Bat¬ 
chelder,  quartermaster-general  of  the  army,  when  he  retired  from 
active  service: 

My  Dear  Gen.  Batchelder:  I  very  much  regret  that  observance 
of  the  new  regulations  prevents  me  from  expressing  in  your  order 
of  retirement  the  sease  of  loss  which  I  feel  the  public  sustains  in 
your  separation  from  active  duty. 

I  am  sure  that  the  efficiency,  energy,  and  strict  enforcement  of 
economy  which  have  characterized  your  control  of  the  quarter¬ 
master’s  department,  and  which  it  was  my  pleasure  to  publicly 
acknowledge  in  my  last  annual  report,  and  the  consequent  per¬ 
manent  benefits  to  the  army  are  so  generally  recognized  that  no 
restatement  is  necessary. 

Successful  administration  of  the  chief  office  of  your  corps,  added 
to  important  connections  with  the  army  during  the  most  active

and  interestina;  period  of  its  existence,  must  bring  to  you  a  satis¬

With  my  best  personal  wishes  for  your  health  and  happiness, 
I  beg  to  remain,  faithfully  yours, 

,  Daniel  S.  Lamont,  Secretary  of  War. 

In  recommending  Gen.  Richard  N.  Batchelder,  of  New  Hamp¬ 
shire,  for  appointment  as  quartermaster-general  of  the  army,  that 
discriminating  military  critic,  Gen.  Francis  A.  Walker,  the  his¬ 
torian  of  the  Second  Army  Corps,  said:  “No  other  man’s  services 
can  exceed  his  in  the  claims  they  make  upon  the  consideration  and 
gratitude  of  his  countrymen.’’  It  is  impossible  in  this  brief  sketch 
to  give  even  a  synopsis  of  General  Batchelder’s  military  career,  a 
career  which  won  for  him  the  confidence  and  affection  of  the  com¬ 
manders  of  our  armies,  which  advanced  him  in  the  volunteer 
service  by  rapid  promotion  from  the  rank  of  quartermaster  of  the 
First  New  Hampshire  Regiment  to  the  responsible  position  of 
chief  quartermaster  of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac;  which  carried 
him  over  the  heads  of  six  seniors  in  the  regular  service,  and  all 
of  them  West  Point  graduates,  when  President  Harrison  was  called 
upon  to  appoint  a  quartermaster-general  of  the  army,  and  which 
secured  for  him  indorsements  and  recommendations  for  that  posi¬ 
tion  unsurpassed  in  the  history  of  the  regular  army.  One  of  the 
first  of  New  Hampshire’s  citizens  to  volunteer  at  the  outbreak  of 
the  Rebellion,  he  has  reached  the  highest  rank  in  the  regular 
service  of  any  volunteer  from  this  State,  and  it  is  not  too  much 
to  say  of  him  that  he  is  the  most  efficient  quartermaster-general 
the  army  has  ever  had.

Baichelder,  w.as  born  in  Woolwich,  Me.  He  a' tended  the  public  schools  until  he 
entered  the  academy  at  Blue  Hill.  Me.,  from  which  place  he  went  to  Waterville 
College,  where  he  remained  several  years,  after  which  he  entered  the  ministry  of 
the  Gospel,  and  was  ordained  at  the  Baptist  church  at  Thomaston,  Me.  He  was 
for  several  years  employed  by  the  Baptist  Home  Missionary  Society.  Severing  his 
connection  with  that  board  he  became  pastor  successively  of  the  Baptist  church  in 
Houlton,  Penobscot.  Oceanville,  and  Hancock,  at  which  place  he  died.  When  22 
years  of  age  he  married  Charlotte  T.  Grose,  by  whom  he  had  eight  children — three 
sons,  the  youngest  of  whom  died  in  early  manhood.  The  others  reached  mature 
years.  He  was  a  man  of  unusual  intellectual  capacity,  of  good  judgment,  a  keen 
wit,  and  of  deep,  earnest,  abiding  faith  and  piety.  In  person  he  was  six  feet  four 
inches  tall,  well  proportioned,  and  of  unusual  physical  strength.  Without  an 
enemy  on  earth,  the  end  came  as  to  one  “who  wraps  the  drapery  of  his  couch 
around  him  and  lies  down  to  pleasant  dreams.”  “Let  me  die  the  death  of  the 
righteous,  and  le.t  my  last  end  be  like  his.”  He  d.  Nov.  8,  1885.  Res.  Waterville

1947.  X.  CHARLES  E.,  b.  May  12,  1849.  He  was  m.,  had  ch.,  and  d.  Sept. 

4,  1894.  The  subject  of  this  brief  sketch  was  naturally  imbued, 
from  his  earliest  years,  with  an  earnest  desire  to  search  diligently 
into  his  fading  ancestral  traditions,  and  he  was  inspired  by  their 
teachings.  We  find  him,  as  a  boy,  finishing  his  common  school 
education  in  his  native  town,  earnest,  untiring  and  industrious. 
Later  he  attended  Philips  Academy,  at  Exeter,  and  during  his 
slay  there  walked  to  his  home  and  back  at  the  end  of  every  week, 
a  distance  of  some  twelve  miles.  His  preparatory  work  at  Exeter 
was  marked  by  attention  and  strictness  in  little  things,  as  well  as 
in  those  of  more  moment.  Leaving  Exeter,  he  entered  Harvard 
College  in  1869,  taking  the  full  academic  course.  Here,  obliged 
to  confront  the  necessity  facing  every  self-made  man,  of  mak¬ 
ing  his  own  way  unaided,  he  gave  up  all  outside  recreations  and 
attended  to  making  the  best  possible  use  of  his  opportunities. 
During  his  senior  year  he  taught  school  in  various  places,  and  at 
the  close  of  his  course  he  attended  for  a  time  the  Harvard  law 
school,  and  then  entered  the  office  of  Hon.  John  S.  H.  Frink,  of 
Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  staying  there  two  years  and  a  half,  finishing 
his  legal  studies  with  the  Hon.  William  Gaston,  of  Boston.  He 
was  admitted  to  the  Suffolk  bar  in  1876,  and  began  the  practice  of 
law  in  Portsmouth  the  same  year.  Very  shortly  thereafter  he  was 
appointed  judge  of  the  police  court  of  Portsmouth,  and,  in  1882, 
he  became  associated  in  business  with  Mr.  Frink,  this  association 
ending  only  with  his  death.  He  was  prominently  identified  with 
the  educational  and  charitable  interests  of  his  city,  was  a  trustee 
in  many  local  organizations ;  and  was  president  of  the  Portsmouth 
Savings  Bank  from  1893.  He  was  prominently  mentioned  at  a 
Republican  congressional  nominee  from  the  first  New  Hampshire 
district  in  1888,  but  his  health  forbade,  and  his  natural  disinclina¬ 
tion  made  it  repugnant  to  him  to  seek  office.  It  is  especially  note¬ 
worthy  that  all  positions  to  which  he  was  appointed  or  elected  he 
held  continuously  to  the  time  of  his  death.  As  a  lawyer.  Judge 
Batchelder  was  learned,  frank,  honest,  and  industrious;  sham  and 
hypocrisy  he  abhorred  ;  dodging  the  question  with  him  was  impos¬ 
sible.  He  met  every  issue  fairly  and  promptly.  No  case  intrusted 
to  him  ever  failed  of  proper  preparation,  no  question  propounded 
to  him  was  an.swered  by  mere  words.  His  growth,  mentally  as 
well  as  naturally,  was  well  proportioned  and  thorough ;  there  was 
no  retrogression,  there  was  no  pause,  but  a  steady  onward  and 
upward  development  that  was  a  source  of  inspiration  to  those  to 
whom  he  was  a  model.  Debarred  by  ill  health  from  very  activ’e 
court  practice  in  his  later  years,  the  best  glimpse  of  him  could 
not  there  be  had.  All  knew  his  unfailing  good  nature,  and  his  ever 
ready  disposition  to  do  a  brother  lawyer  a  favor.  It  was  with 
office  work  that  he  was  obliged,  then,  to  be  content,  and  that  he 
did  this  well  was  evidenced  by  the  abundance  of  it  that  he  had.  As 
a  municipal  judge  he  possessed  a  keen  insight  and  an  ability  to 
go  to  the  root  of  the  matter.  Rarely  was  an  appeal  persisted  in. 
As  a  man,  he  was  exact,  methodical  and  punctual ;  he  believed 
that  every  person  should  have  some  outside  pursuit  to  be  followed 
apart  from  his  regular  calling  as  a  means  of  recreation.  His 
recreation  was  a  study  of  early  New  England  traditions  and  his¬ 
tory.  When  confined  to  the  house  for  more  or  less  extended 
periods,  he  would  delve  into  some  unsettled  question  of  colonial 
history  and  write  out  his  conclusion.  He  was  a  frequent  contribu¬ 
tor  to  the  New  England  Historical  and  Genealogical  Register.  In 
a  vain  search  for  health,  he  made  several  trips  abroad,  spending

most  of  his  time  in  the  southeast  of  England,  browsing  about  in 
his  ancestral  acres,  and  enjoying  by  himself  those  days  of  three 
hundred  years  ago.  No  reference  to  Judge  Batchelder  is  com¬ 
plete  whicn  does  not  make  mention  of  a  home  life,  so  pastoral  in 
its  simplicity,  so  fond  in  its  associations,  so  mutually  interdepen¬ 
dent  as  was  his.  No  favor  was  there  loo  small  to  be  asked,  none 
too  great  to  be  granted.  No  outside  function  was  allowed  to  in¬ 
terfere  with  It,  none  could  interfere  with  it.  Judge  Batchelder 
was  a  man  who  could  never  grow  old;  he  was  a  friend  to  the 
young  man,  and  among  the  many  who  regretted  his  untimely 
decease,  none  were  more  sincere  in  their  grief,  none  felt  his  loss 
more  keenly,  than  those  young  men  who  were  fortunate  enough  to 
have  walked  within  the  circle  of  his  influence  during  his  life,  and 
who,  now  that  he  has  gone,  cherish  the  memory  of  this  man,  of 
whom  none  ever  said  aught  but  good. — From  the  Report  of  the 
Eighteenth  Annual  Meeting  of  the  American  Bar  Association,  held 
at  Detroit,  Mich.,  1895.  Res.  Portsmouth,  N.  H.

Newburyport,  Mass.  He  was  born  in  the  country  town  of  Deer¬ 
field,  N.  H.,  where  the 
school  advantages 
were  none  of  the  best, 
and  the  opportunities 
for  hard  work  unex¬ 
celled.  Until  he  was 
18  he  had  labored  on 
the  farm,  but,  being 
ambitious,  attend  ed 
the  Pembroke  academy 
and  at  Northfield,  N, 

H.,  at  which  latter 
place  he  was  under  the 
instruction  of  Prof. 

Sanborn,  author  of 
Sanborn’s  grammar. 

He  taught  school  sev¬ 
eral  winters  and  had 
several  invitations  to 
enter  a  profession,  but 
feeling  his  dependence 
he  concluded  to  start 
out  for  himself.  His 

first  vote  was  in  Deerfield,  for  John  P.  Hale,  who  had  resigned  his 
seat  in  congress  because  he  was  instructed  to  vote  for  the  annexa¬ 
tion  of  Texas  as  a  slave  state.  He  has  voted  with  the  Republican 
party  ever  since,  and  was  proud  ot  the  privilege  of  voting  for 
McKinley  for  president.  He  went  to  New’burypori  in  the  spring 
of  1846,  and  has  remained  since.  He  started  in  the  grocer’s  work 
for  Chesley  &  Merrill,  and  worked  for  them  several  years,  when 
he  concluded  to  undertake  for  himself.  He  has  been  in  the  shoe

home  very  early  in  life,  and  came  from  New  Hampshire  to  Boston.  He  became  inter¬ 
ested  in  the  lumber  business,  having  contracts  with  the  government  to  supply  ship 
timber  for  the  Charlestown  Navy  Yard.  At  the  age  of  35  he  thought  he  had  enough 
money  to  retire  upon,  and  invested  it  in  real  estate,  mostly  at  the  west  end  of 
Boston.  He  was  a  man  of  dignity  and  strong  character;  his  manners  were  those 
natural  to  good  breeding.  He  was  very  fond  of  fine  horses,  and  owned  some  of  the 
best  in  the  city.  At  the  age  of  45,  one  of  his  horses  ran  away  with  him.  He  was 
on  his  way  to  a  farm  which  he  owned  in  Roxbury  (now  a  part  of  Boston)  with  his 
foreman.  They  were  both  thrown  out  of  the  carriage,  and  his  skull  was  fractured, 
and,  after  lingering  several  months,  he  died  from  the  effect  of  this  accident.  He  d.

Deerfield,  s.  p. ;  d.  April  2,  1867.  The  ancestors  of  Timothy  Batchelder  were  by 
occupation  tanners.  Timothy  was  born  in  Allenstown,  N.  H.,  in  the  old  homestead, 
on  March  14,  1804.  Within  a  short  distance  of  the  place  of  his  birth,  he  carried  on 
his  business,  that  of  a  hotel  man,  until  his  death  on  April  16,  1851.  His  grand¬ 
father,  sad  as  it  may  seem,  not  only  deprived  the  Colonies  of  his  assistance  in  the 
War  of  the  Revolution,  but  actually  shouldered  his  musket  and  walked  to  Ports¬ 
mouth,  N.  H.,  a  distance  of  forty  miles,  and  there  assisted  the  British  soldiers  to 
land  upon  our  coast.  When  the  War  of  1812  broke  out  between  Great  Britain  and 
the  United  States.  Timothy,  then  a  lad  of  eight  summers,  watched  our  soldiers 
as  they  passed  his  home  on  their  way  to  the  seaport  town  to  meet  the  foreign 
enemy.  The  sound  of  the  drum  had  already  charmed  him.  Even  before  this  age 
he  had  attended  the  musters  in  his  own  and  the  surrounding  towns  with  his  father. 
Anyone  who  could  beat  a  drum  or  play  a  fife  was  the  most  popular  fellow  in  the 
community,  especially  upon  these  great  occasions.  At  these  musters  it  was  no 
unusual  sight  to  see  some  of  the  simple-hearted  yeomanry  around  their  favorite  of 
the  drum  and  fife,  listening  and  looking  with  open-eared  and  open-eyed  wonder, 
forgetful  of  everything  save  this  all-absorbing  sound  and  sight.  Timothy  teased 
his  father  to  buy  him  a  drum ;  the  drum  was  secured  and  shortly  thereafter  no

muster  was  a  success  unless  't  imothy  was  there  to  manipulate  the  drumsticks.  The 
little  fellow,  too  small  to  carry  the  drum  himself,  his  father  performed  this  menial 
office  for  him,  and  proud  and  happy  he  was  in  doing  this  for  so  talented  a  son  as  he 
had  in  his  boy  Timothy,  and  in  the  office  of  drum  major,  to  which  he  was  subse¬ 
quently  appointed,  he  was  no  disappointment  to  anyone. 

The  hotel  of  which  he  was  the  landlord  was  situated  in  Deerfield,  N.  H.,  just 
over  the  Allenstown  line.  It  was  on  the  great  highway  running  from  Concord  to 
Portsmouth,  which  was  the  old  stage  route.  At  his  hotel  all  the  stages  stopped  to 
change  horses,  and  here  the  passengers  alighted  from  their  uncomfortable  seats  to 
partake  of  the  good  things  at  his  table.  Landlord  Batchelder  was  a  very  kind- 
hearted  and  popular  man.  He  continued  to  run  this  hotel  until  his  death,  which 
occurred  when  he  was  47  years  of  age.  In  1827  he  married  Mary  P.  Pickering,  of 
New  Market,  N.  H,  who  died  Aug.  28,  1843.  A  few  years  afterwards  he  married 
Eliza  A.  Blaisdell,  of  Deerfield,  N.  H.,  who  survived  him  several  years.  Bv  his 
first  wife  he  had  three  children — Georgianna.  John  P.  and  Horace  W.  ;  the  former 
died  in  New  York  in  1886;  his  son  John  resides  in  Allenstown  and  his  son  Horace 
resides  in  Suncook,  N.  H.  Timothy,  by  his  second  wife,  had  no  children.  Dau.

BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY. 


1073.  JOHN  BATCHELDER  (John,  Abraham,  Samuel,  Samuel,  Nathaniel, 
Nathaniel,  Stephen),  b.  Meredith,  N.  H.,  Oct.  25,' 1815;  m.  tftere.  Sept.  8,  1849, 
Caroline  Folsom,  b.  June  2,  1829.  John  Batchelder,  son  of  Dea.  John  Batchelder, 
was  born  on  the  old  homestead  farm  in  that  part  of  the  town  of  Meredith,  N.  H. 
(now  a  part  of  the  city  of  Laconia).  He  remained  at  home  until  his  eighteenth  year, 
acquiring  a  common  school  education,  when  he  went  to  Meredith  village,  and  ap¬ 
prenticed  himself  to  a  Mr.  Lang,  a  wheelwright  and  cabinet  maker.  At  the  close 
of  his  apprenticeship  he  went  to  Boston,  Mass.,  and  engaged  in  the  business  of 
pianoforte  case  making,  where  he  remained  until  after  his  thirtieth  year,  when  fail¬ 
ing  eyesight  compelled  him  to  give  up  the  business,  and  he  returned  to  the  old 
farm,  where  he  purchased  considerable  land  and  settled  down  to  take  care  of  his 
father  and  stepmother.  He  married  Carroline  Folsome,  daughter  of  his  stepmother. 
They  had  eight  children,  the  first  a  daughter  who  died  in  infancy.  The  others 
were.  John  F. ;  Frank  A.,  who  died  in  his  ninth  year;  Freeman  H. ;  Burton  L., 
Lyman  P. ;  Edward  W.,  and  Alice,  who  died  in  her  second  year.  At  the  death 
of  his  father  he  came  into  possession  of  the  old  homestead.  Early  in  life  he  united 
with  the  Freewill  Baptist  Church  of  Meredith.  In  politics  he  was  first  a  Whig, 
then  he  joined  the  Know  Nothing  party,  and  a  few  years  later  the  Republican 
party,  with  which  he  has  since  remained.  He  still  lives  on  the  old  farm,  his  son. 
Freeman  H.,  living  with  him  and  caring  for  him  in  his  old  age.  He  was  always  a 
retiring,  modest  man,  simple  in  his  tastes  and  habits.  With  a  good  memory,  and 
a  constant  reader  of  political  history,  he  possesses  an  unusual  fund  of  information 
along  these  lines,  and  though  eighty-one  years  of  age  his  interest  in  national  affairs, 
both  at  home  and  abroad,  is  as  strong  as  ever.  Res.  Meredith  and  Laconia,  N.  H.

the  conduct  of  a  weekly  print;  was  appointed  postmaster  and  captain  of  a  military 
company.  Returted  to  Chicago  in  1879-80;  was  reporter  on  the  Chicago  Tribune 
and  Times;  participated  in  an  advertising 
agency;  subsequently  went  to  St.  Paul, 

Minn.,  as  an  artist  on  the  Globe  of  that 
city  and  illustrated  for  a  pictorial  print; 
took  the  prize  for  a  design  com  memorative 
of  the  Haymarket  massacre  by  Anarch¬ 
ists  in  Chicago;  has  been  an  artist  on  the 
Chicago  Daily  News  from  i8gi  to  i8g6, 
and  later  the  leading  one  on  the  Times- 
Herald  of  Chicago,  whose  designs  daily 
appeared  on  the  first  page  of  said  print. 

He  now  occupies  the  same  position  on  the 
Daily  News.  The  Haymarket  monument 
was  erected  to  the  memory  of  the  police¬ 
men  murdered  by  Anarchists.  The  foun¬ 
dation  was  commenced  December,  1888. 

The  cost  of  the  pedestal  and  everything 
complete  in  readiness  for  the  figure  ag¬ 
gregated  $5,000.  The  railings,  electric 
lights  and  supporfs,  together  with  the  ex¬ 
pense  of  placing  the  figure  in  position, 
added  another  $1,000.  The  figure  itself 
increased  the  value  of  the  monument  to 
$10,000.  From  the  foundation  the  height 
of  the  pedestal  is  seven  feet  six  inches. 

The  designer  of  the  figure  was  Charles

street,  Philadelphia,  Pa.  Samuel  Hutchinson  Batchelor  was  born  in  East  Knox, 
Me.  The  first  incident  of  note  in  his  life  was  that,  at  the  age  of  12,  he  ran  away  to 
sea,  a  practice  then  no  rarity  among  New  England  boys.  In  the  instance  here 
recorded  the  incentive  is  said  to  have  been  as  much  due  to  the  severity  of  the  old 
homestead  life  as  an  anxious  search  for  better  conditions.  Young  Batchelor 
shipped  for  three  years  in  a  whaler.  The  hard  life  of  the  seamen  caused  him  to 
gain  the  best  office  within  reach,  but  on  his  return  to  land  the  sea  had  no  further 
attractions  for  him.  His  first  acts  after  his  return  were  to  educate  himself,  and  he 
devoted  his  energies  to  that  end  without  ceasing  until  the  day  of  his  death.  Pos¬ 
sessing  a  considerable  affection  for  his  brother  Ira,  the  youngest  son  of  the  family, 
he  took  the  earliest  opportunity  to  take  him  away  from  the  old  farm  and  convey 
him  to  Portland,  Me.,  where  he — Samuel —  obtained  a  permanent  home  for  him  with 
a  wealthy  Quaker  and  bank  president,  Rufus  Horton,  who  then  resided  in  a  large 
mansion  on  one  of  the  principal  streets  of  that  city.  Shortlj"  after,  Samuel  bound 
himself  out  to  learn  the  trade  of  blacksmith,  and  served  his  full  time  at  that  indus¬ 
try,  but  never  continued  it.  He  found  the  work  too  heavy  and  unclean  for  his 
tastes.  Thereupim  he  taught  himself  the  principles  of  mechanics.  So  expert  did 
he  become  in  his  newly  chosen  field  that  shortly  after  his  majority  he  jiublicly 
announced  him.self  as  a  master  machinist.  At  Gloucester,  N.  J.,  he  obtained  a 
contract  to  construct  and  put  in  spinning  machinery  in  the  Angora  mills.  Appreci¬ 
ating  the  skill  of  a  young  friend,  Francis  A.  Pratt,  at  present  president  of  the  Pratt 
&  Whitney  Company,  of  Hartford,  Conn.,  he  asked  young  Pratt  to  join  him  in 
partnership  in  his  contract,  an  act  which,  at  this  day,  causes  Mr.  Pratt  to  say  of 
himself,  that  it  was  one  of  the  most  memorable  in  his  life  in  its  beneficial  effects.

BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY. 


At  Gloucester,  Samuel  first  met  the  jmimg  woman  who  became  his  wife,  and 
there  his  son,  John  IMilton,  was  born.  Together,  they  traveled  to  Chicopee,  Mass., 
where  Samuel  found  some  business.  There,  hearing  of  the  growth  of  Colt’s  fire¬ 
arms  at  Hartford — about  1850 — he  visited  those  works  and  obtained  the  position  of 
superintendent  of  the  machine  tool  division.  So  promising  became  this  business  on 
consequence  of  the  klexcian  War,  in  1849,  and  demand  ifor  firearms,  that  he  sent 
for  a  number  of  his  old  associates — if  memory  serves,  Mr.  F.  A.  Pratt  and  Mr.  Asa 
Cook,  of  Hartford,  being  among  them — to  share  in  the  promi.sed  prosperity.  A  few 
years  later  these  works  were  moved  into  newly  constructed  buildings  on  the  out¬ 
skirts  of  the  city,  the  largest  and  most  e.xtensive  of  any  in  that  line  of  business  in 
the  world,  their  capacity  during  the  late  war  being  eight  thousand  men  working  day 
and  night.  Samuel  held  his  position  with  the  greatly  increasing  number  of  hands 
under  his  charge,  with  the  rapid  growth  of  the  works,' until  the  day  of  his  death,  in 
1855,  at  the  age  of  36.  He  died  at  a  time  when  there  was  openeil  out  to  him  a  career 
of  prosperity  and  wealth.  Consumption  was  his  trouble;  and  it  is  said  that  he 
deemed  the  struggle  of  life  too  hard  for  his  rewards.  He  died  peacefully  at  his 
comfortable  home,  making  no  complaint  of  undue  suffering 

Colt’s  brass  band,  then  a  large,  first-class  organization,  voluntarily  attended  his 
funeral,  and  at  the  grave  played  the  sweetest  music  the  writer  ever  listened  to 
before  or  since  that  time. 

Samuel  H.  Batchelor  possessed  an  organization  of  the  highly  refined  high 
strung  type,  but  cool,  calculating,  and  always  self-controlled.  His  tastes  and  work 
were  of  a  delicate  mould,  and  he  greatly  disliked  to  soil  his  hands.  As  an  expert 
at  his  calling,  Mr.  Horace  Lord,  the  general  superintendent  of  Colt’s  Armory  for 
forty  years  and  over,  said  of  him  to  the  writer,  “He  was  of  roval  blood.’’  Mr.  Lord 
added  that  Samuel’s  forte  in  mechanics  was  his  immediate  perception  of  the  utility 
of  improvements;  his  quick  and  just  appreciation  of  the  simplest  and  most  effective 
construction  to  the  end  sought. 

In  illustration  of  personal  character  and  natural  independence  of  disposition,  in 
his  early  days,  after  having  finished  his  preliminary  education  in  mechanics,  it  was 
sometimes  necessary  for  him  to  get  work  by  personal  application.  His  appear¬ 
ance  at  this  time  was  youthful,  even  less  than  his  years.  In  applying  to  the 
proprietor  he  would  ask  for  a  position  only  granted  long  experienced  hands,  and 
ask  pay  even  higher  than  the  pay  paid  the  best  men  in  the  business.  Employers 
would  thereupon  laugh  at  him,  ask  for  his  references,  and  say  that  their  men  would 
leave  the  works  if  such  wages  were  paid  a  boy.  Samuel  would,  in  such  cases, 
always  refuse  to  give  references.  He  would  tell  the  employer  he  must  judge  from 
his  own  knowledge  and  not  tliat  of  others.  That  he,  Samuel,  would  not  work  for 
any  less,  and  if,  after  trial,  he  was  not  found  worth  his  pay,  he  would  not  take 
anything.  His  very  boldness  on  such  occasions  usually  caused  the  employer  to  give 
him  a  trial,  and  after  the  employer  was  asked  if  Samuel’s  work  was  satisfactory, 
invariably  the  answer  came  in  the  affirmative.  Neither  would  Samuel  look  at  a 
reference  from  a  hand  he  employed.  He  always  relied  upon  his  own  judgment  of 
the  applicant. 

The  num'oer  of  sincere  friends  Samuel  always  gathered  about  him  is  unexam¬ 
pled  in  the  writer’s  knowledge.  Among  them  were  hundreds  of  strong,  superior 
men,  who  have  since  become  wealthy  and  renowned  in  the  various  channels  of  life, 
and  who,  while  Samuel  lived,  were  of  that  class  of  friends  best  known  as  “faithful 
to  the  last.’’  And  the  striking  feature  of  the  remarkable  and  wide.spread  friend¬ 
ship  was  that  so  far  as  could  be  seen  it  was  entirely  unsought.  Samuel  never  put 
himself  out  to  make  a  friend;  they  came  to  him  unsought,  they  gathered  to  him, 
recognizing  a  superior  man — and  he  never  betrayed  their  confidence.  It  is  not 
known  to  the  writer  that  he  ever  had  an  enemy. 

Concerning  the  character  of  the  work  Samuel  did  at  Colt’s  armory,  Mr.  F.  A. 
Pratt  said  to  the  writer:  “No  such  machine  tools  as  those  constructed  in  Colt’s 
Armory  had  ever  before  or  since  been  made  in  the  world,  so  delicate  and 
accurate  were  they  in  adjustment  and  complete  in  detail  for  the  work  required  of 
them.  That  those  tools  cost  over  six  times  the  cost  of  the  best  tools  ever  made  by 
the  Pratt  &  Whitney  Company,  because  the  market  could  never  afford  to  ]iay  for 
such  work  as  Samuel  put  into  them.’’  Mr.  Prutt  added,  that,  had  Samuel  lived, 
he,  Mr.  Pratt,  would  have  had  him  in  as  a  partner  in  the  Pratt  &  Whitney  Co. ,  because 
of  Samuel’s  remarkable  mechanical  skill  and  his  personal  character  as  a  man. 
Whenever  Mr.  Pratt  now  speaks  of  Samuel,  it  is  with  a  depth  of  admiration  that 
instantly  attracts  the  ear  of  a  listener  because  of  its  very  rarity. 

How  far  Samuel’s  influence  went  in  forming  the  remarkable  business  methods 


BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY.

of  Colt’s  Armory  is  unknown  to  the  writer.  Regarding  these  methods,  it  may  be 
properly  said  here  that  no  such  works  have  ever  before  or  since  been  in  existence  in 
point  of  liberality  and  opportunity  for  the  skilled  operative — without  capital  of  his 
own — to  become  wealthy.  There  never  were  any  printed  rules  or  regulations  for 
the  men’s  conduct  in  the  establishment,  even  when  8,000  men  were  daily  employed. 
There  never  was  a  strike,  and,  what  is  to  the  point,  there  never  were  even  any 
murmurings  in  the  direction  of  a  strike  in  the  whole  history  of  the  works.  Men 
most  skilled  in  their  various  departments  were  selected  by  the  superintendent  to  bid 
on  the  construction  of  lar'ge  quantities  of  desired  parts.  Tools,  supplies,  materials,  and 
guaranteed  wages  to  whatever  number  of  men  were  necessary  to  do  the  work,  were  all 
furnished  by  the  company.  Such  selected  men  were  named  contractors,  but  they  did 
their  business  with  the  Company’s  men  and  materials  without  the  use  of  capital  of 
their  own.  The  striking  part  of  these  bids,  under  which  all  work  was  done  in  the 
establishment  was,  that  no  contractor  was  asked  or  required  to  make  a  competing  or 
“lowest  bid,”  instead  he  was  asked  for  a  bid  that  would  afford  him  a  fair  business 
profit  for  carrying  out  the  contract,  and  the  Company  agreed  to  pay  his  men  what¬ 
ever  wages  he  deemed  right,  and  allow  him  to  have  full  complete  control  over  their 
acts,  precisely  the  same  as  if  he  employed  him  with  his  own  capital.  It  was  no 
rarity,  even  for  the  superintendent  to  voluntarily  increase  a  contractor’s  bid,  when 
he  deemed  it  too  low.  This  original  method  of  doing  business  resulted  in  attracting 
the  most  expert  and  best  men  in  the  business.  They  came  from  far  and  wide  to 
take  advantage  of  such  unexampled  liberality.  The  consequence  was  that  these 
works  turned  out  the  best  work  ever  made  in  the  world.  Such  is  the  testimony  of 
our  greatest  and  best  army  officers.  Above  and  beyond  that,  these  contractors, 
totally  without  capital,  and  never  favorites,  except  as  they  merited  it,  became 
actually  wealthy.  Hundreds  of  them  made  themselv'es  worth  from  $40,000  to 
$150,000  each  by  the  opportunty  graciously,  far-sightedly  and  willingly  given, 
through  methods  of  business  conduct  that  make  of  this  a  really  wonderful  institu¬ 
tion. 

Samuel’s  moral,  political  and  church  views  were  confined  to  liberalism.  He 
rarely  attended  church,  would  do  nothing  in  its  support,  and  if  he  did  attend,  it 
was  with  a  spirit  of  inquiry  and  not  worship.  In  fact,  all  he  did  in  these  directions 
was  to  search  for  something  better  than  the  world  afforded.  He  was  dissatisfied 
with  things  existing,  but  made  no  open  complaint;  invariably  his  dissatisfaction 
was  in  the  direction  of  silent  observation.  And  to  the  day  of  his  death  he  was 
never  satisfied  with  the  sum  total  of  ascertainable  information.  He  d.  1855,  Hart¬

Heights,  N.  J.  John  Milton  Batchelor,  son  of  Samuel  H.  Batch¬ 
elor,  was  born  at  Gloucester,  N.  J.  A  few  months  later  the  family 
returned  to  New  England,  temporarily  residing  in  Massachusetts; 
but  soon  after  the  family  made  their  home  at  Hartford,  Conn., 
where  John  was  brought  up  until  the  age  of  15.  At  15.  his  uncle, 
Ira  J.  Batchelor  sent  for  him  to  live  in  Portland.  Me.  In  that  city 
he  received  a  business  education  at  his  uncle’s  place  of  business, 
with  John  Winslow  Jones,  an  estimable  man,  in  the  canned  goods 
business,  with  whom  he  remained  several  years  as  office  assistant; 
meanwhile  taking  a  trip  through  Maine  to  see  his  father’s  family, 
studying  evenings  and  odd  hours,  besides  attending  a  course  of 
law  lectures  by  Hon.  Josiah  H.  Drummond. 

At  the  age  of  17,  while  under  the  influence  of  ether  in  a  dentist’s 
chair,  John  had  “a  vision,”  which  he  then  and  ever  since  has  kept 
to  himself.  Not  that  visions  are  uncommon  under  such  circum¬ 
stances,  but  this  was  something  more ;  it  was  a  forecast  of  practical 
matters,  clear  in  detail,  of  what  his  future  occupation  would  be, 
and  its  consequent  effects  upon  the  rest  of  mankind;  so  vividly 
was  this  view  brought  before  his  comprehension  that  from  that 
day  to  this,  in  consequence  of  what  has  since  transpired,  he  has 
had  no  occasion  to  question  its  accuracy.  How  far  this  "vision” 
may  have  influenced  subsequent  investigations,'  hereafter  de¬ 
scribed,  is  not  apparent.  Immediately  thereafter,  however,  it 
became  to  him  but  an  event  in  life  requiring  no  further  analysis 
than  his  own  memory.

In  1867,  a  new  firm  was  formed  in  Portland  for  wholesale  trad¬ 
ing  in  fancy  goods  and  small  wares.  John,  then  18  years  old,  was 
asked  by  this  firm  to  become  their  bookkeeper,  at  $900  salary  the 
first  year,  and$i,2oo  the  second  year,  which  offer  he  accepted,  and 
for  the  first  time  in  life  started  out  on  his  o\vn  account.  He 
remained  with  this  firm  until  it  failed,  about  two  years  later;  then 
— in  1869 — with  letters  of  introduction  went  to  seek  his  fortunes  in 
New  York  City,  where  he  obtained  a  place  with  H.  J.  Libby  & 
Co.,  dry  goods  commission,  as  assistant  bookkeeper.  Here  he  re¬ 
mained  one  year,  then  returned  to  Portland  to  become  a  partner  in 
the  already  established  Dirigo  Suspender  Company,  then  employ¬ 
ing  about  thirty  hands.  At  first  the  suspender  business  prospered, 
but  this  prosperity  was  interrupted  by  suddenly  discovered  frauds 
committed  by  a  partner.  This  discovery  and  consequent  loss  crip¬ 
pled  the  new  firm  so  that  John  took  the  conduct  of  the  whole 
business  alone,  and'  moved  with  it  to  Boston  to  find  a  larger  field 
of  trade.  John  closed  out  his  interest  to  his  partner  about  two 
years  after  having  entered  into  it. 

During  this  severe  business  experience,  John  reached  conclu¬ 
sions  somewhat  similar  to  those  reached  by  his  father  when  the 
latter  was  15  years  or  so  older;  although  he  was  not,  at  the  time, 
aware  of  what  his  father’s  conclusions  had  been  on  this  point,  the 
latter  having  died  when  John  was  only  six  years  old.  This  con¬ 
clusion  was,  that  life  is  not  worth  its  rewards,  considering  their 
cost  in  physical  and  mental  labor.  This  view  might  have  ended 
John’s  career  about  that -time  had  circumstances  not  then  presented 
an  opportunity  to  go  abroad  and  see  more  of  the  world. 

Obtaining  a  dozen  or  so  foreign  letters  of  introduction,  he  there¬ 
upon  passed  a  few  months  in  the  Islands  of  Great  Britain,  sailed 
from  Edinburgh  to  Norway  and  Sweden,  crossed  Sweden  by  rail, 
thence  to  St.  Petersburg,  Russia,  and  from  there  to  Berlin,  where 
he,  passed  six  months  studying  German,  etc.  Later,  he  visited 
neighboring  countries,  the  Rhine  gambling  resons,  then  Brussels 
and  Paris,  which  latter  city  he  remained  in  about  six  weeks;  then 
returned  to  New  York,  after  being  a  full  year  abroad.  All  spare 
hours  of  this  journey  were  devoted  to  study;  after  leaving  Ger¬ 
many,  of  the  French  and  Spanish  languages. 

The  ten  years  following,  in  New  York,  were  devoted  as  business 
permitted,  and  business  was  subordinated  thereto,  to  a  close  study 
of  the  sciences,  history,  comparative  religions,  etc.  Regular 
courses  of  lectures  were  attended  in  three  of  the  colleges  of  New 
York,  and  over  two  thousand  standard  works  on  above  subjects, 
were  read  and  studied.  But  most  of  this  reading  was  with  a  de¬ 
fined  end  in  view;  to  learn  if  any  past  experience  justified  any 
better  mode  of  daily  life  than  that  made  available  by  the  ordinary 
run  of  knowledge,  and  thus  expose  something  that  would  make 
life  worth  living.  Meanwhile,  shortly  after  his  return  to  the 
United  States,  he  engaged  with  the  Domestic  Sewing  Machine  Co., 
and  remained  with  that  company  one  year,  averaging  in  weekly 
earnings  during  that  time  seventy  dollars.  At  the  end  of  this  year, 
Mr.  F.  A.  Pratt,  president  of  the  Pratt  &  Whitney  Co.,  of  Hart¬ 
ford,  offered  John  a  partnership  with  his  brother,  R.  N.  Pratt, 
then  in  business  in  New  York,  as  an  agency  for  steam  appliances. 
John  took  hold,  but  finding,  after  selling  the  goods  they  had  for 
sale,  that  the  goods  were  not  what  was  advertised,  he  altered  the 
business  by  taking  in  engines,  boilers  and  machinery.  Later,  Mr. 
F.  A.  Pratt  backed  up  the  business  with  additional  capital,  and 
Abel  Dennison,  vice-pesident  of  the  Loan  and  Indemnity  Com¬ 
pany— a  superior  man,  by  the  way — was  taken  in  as  a  partner. 
At  this  time  business  was  being  confined  to  a  promising  boiler 
improvement,  which,  after  careful  investigation  as  to  its  merits 
among  reputable  firms  and  corporations,  had  been  taken  on  sale. 
But  the  old  experience  or  success  could  not  be  duplicated ;  the 
consequence  was  severe  losses,  so  John  gave  up  his  share  of  the 
business  for  want  of  money  to  carry  himself  on.

We  now  reach  1876,  when  John  was  27  years  old.  At  this  time 
his  old  view  of  the  worthlessness  of  things  in  general  revived 
with  energy.  This  resulted  in  -  a  new  experience  of  sufficient  im¬ 
port  to  change  his  object  in  life,  and  finally  resulted  in  exposing 
to  his  satisfaction  that  life  actually  possessed  an  object  worth 
obtainment,  provided  certain  things,  not  taught  in  the  colleges 
of  the  day,  became  practically  understood;  not  only  was  worth 
obtainment,  but  afforded  full  satistaction  to  all  life’s  requirements. 

In  the  fall  of  1889,  John  printed  in  The  Financier,  over  his 
signature,  a  paper  currency  plan  adapted  to  this  or  any  country  to 
replace  all  other  forms  of  money,  showing  how  to  constantly 
maintain  it  at  par  with  gold  or  any  given  standard,  regardless  of 
the  fluctuations  of  a  country’s  credit.  In  summary  this  plan 
was:  Issue  a  paper  money  convertible  into  a  fluctuating  interest 
coupon  bond,  such  fluctuating  interest  to  be  regulated  from  time 
to  time  as  needed  by  the  state  treasurer  in  public  announcements, 
with  a  preliminary  announcement  that  such  bonds  would  be  main¬ 
tained  in  that  way  at  par  at  all  times. 

Shortly  after,  John  introduced  a  new  plan  in  the  same  paper, 
for  which  he  received  considerable  pay,  showing  bankers  how 
they  could  double  their  profits  by  means  of  combining  under  a 
national  clearing-house  system,  with  branches,  and  the  use  of 
national  clearing-house  certificates  among  their  own  association, 
which  would  be  permitted  as  a  consequence  of  one  bank  receiving 
within  a  day  or  so  the  money  paid  out  by  another  bank;  thus 
business  among  banks  could  be  quadrupled  without  the  addition 
of  more  money.  From  this  plan  in  behalf  of  banks,  he  studied  out 
the  same  principle  for  wider  application,  and  developed  a  plan  in 
behalf  of  the  whole  public,  which  was,  some  months  later,  first 
published  in  The  Item,  February,  1892,  but  which,  in  new  lan¬ 
guage,  has  since  appeared  from  John’s  pen  among  the  editorials  of 
the  last  mentioned  daily,  in  four  articles,  during  January  and  Feb¬ 
ruary,  1897.  This  plan  in  summary  is:  Allow  the  treasury  to  buy 
out  all  banks  of  discount,  which  can  be  done  without  any  more 
money  in  circulation  than  we  now  have,  and  discount  commercial 
paper  for  the  business  public  at  cost,  say  at  one-half  of  one  per  cent 
per  annum,  and  thus  save  to  the  public  this  annual  drain  in  usury 
of  over  two  thousand  million  dollars  a  year  that  is  now  sapping 
the  life-blood  out  of  the  people  and  industries.  This  plan  would 
permit  the  conduct  of  ten  times  the  business  now  done  by  private 
(including  nationals)  banks  of  discount,  with  no  more  money  in 
use  than  now  exists,  and  give  depositors  the  security  of  the  gov¬ 
ernment  for  all  their  deposits.  The  secret  of  this  whole  thing 
being,  what  one  branch  bank  would  pay  out,  another  branch  bank 
would  receive;  consequently  the  nation’s  business  could  be  carried 
on  by  a  central  national  clearing-house.  The  plan  is  recommend¬ 
ed  to  be  extended  to  take  in  pawnbroking  and  warehouse  receipt 
security,  as  well  as  government  loans. 

When  the  bank  plan  for  doubling  bank  profits  first  appeared,  it 
was  sent  to  every  bank  in  the  country,  and  ever  since  then,  as  may 
be  noted  by  the  records,  the  banks  have  been  concentrating  through 
associations  to  this  described  end.  Practically  the  banks  are  adopt¬ 
ing  the  plan  as  originally  written,  as  prominent  bankers  now  confess 
its  merits.  But  the  later  plan  in  the  public’s  behalf,  will,  in  time, 
replace  all  private  (national)  banking  business,  because  its  econo¬ 
mies  in  behalf  of  the  prosperity  of  the  people  are  too  numerous  to 
question,  and  the  change  can  be  made  with  no  particular  cost  or 
trouble;  it  all  being  based  upon  the  mutual  plan  of  banking,  as 
distinguished  from  banking  in  behalf  of  private  stockholders. 

During  his  business  career,  John  made  three  trips  to  Havana, 
Cuba,  and  did  much  traveling  throughout  all  parts  of  the  United 
States,  for  pleasure  and  business  purposes. 

At  this  date,  1897,  at  the  age  of  48,  he  does  not  consider  that  his 
field  of  usefulness  has  yet  been  opened  to  him,  that  the  results  of

Chase,  b.  1807;  d.  1877.  Isaac  Batchelder,  son  of  Isaac  and  second  son  of  Josiah, 
was  b.  in  Plainfield,  Vt. ,  in  1806.  His  father  moved,  while  the  son  was  an  infant, 
to  the  northwest  part  of  the  township  of  Montpelier,  then  nearly  a  wilderness.  Here 
the  young  man  grew  up,  profiting  by  such  schooling  as  the  pioneer  conditions 
afforded.  On  reaching  manhood  he  engaged,  with  his  father  and  brother,  in  the 
business  of  manufacturing  lumber  and  pot  and  pearl  ashes — the  latter  still  a  busi¬ 
ness  of  considerable  importance,  but  soon  destroyed  by  the  de  Blanc  sod  process  of 
the  French.  Later  he  settled  on  a  farm  in  the  vicinity,  built  a  house,  and  brought 
to  his  new  home  as  his  wife  Miss  Mary  Chase,  a  teacher,  a  woman  of  excellent 
education  and  fine  ability.  Here  he  lived  till  his  death  at  sixty-two — a  typical, 
thrifty  New  England  farmer,  beloved  by  his  family  and  friends,  and  trusted  and 
respected  by  the  whole  community.  He  d.  1867.  Res.  East  Montpelier,  Vt.

Nathaniel,  Nathaniel,  Nathaniel,  S’epheii),  born  Holliston,  Mass.,  April  6,  1847; 
m.  April  6.  1869,  Harriet  L.  Rawson,  b.  Nov.  22,  1847.  Francis  Batchelder  was 
born  in  Holliston,  Mass.,  coming  from  a  vigorous  and  enterprising  family  who 

have  made  themselves  felt  in  the  com¬ 


mercial  history  of  that  section  of  the 
State  and  have  left  behind  them  a  repu¬ 
tation  for  str,ct  integrity  and  strength  of 
character,  which  seem  to  have  been  en¬ 
tailed  to  the  subject  of  this  sketch,  by 
right  of  inheritance.  He  received  his 
education  in  the  public  schools  of  that 
place,  entering  upon  his  business  life  at 
an  early  age.  His  history  hai;  been  one 
of  steady  development  along  lines  that 
today  make  his  name  respected  ana  hon¬ 
ored  among  his  many  friends,  both  m 
social  and  business  circles.  In  1869  he 
married  Harriet  L.  Rawson,  of  Hollis¬ 
ton,  and  in  the  same  year  began  business 
in  a  small  way  in  East  Boston.  Contin¬ 
uing  there  for  four  years  he  then  dis¬ 
posed  of  his  interest,  entering  at  once 
into  the  retail  provision  business,  which 
he  continued  with  success  until  1882, 
when  he  established  the  wholesale  pro¬ 
vision  house  at  53,  55.  57  and  59  Black- 
stone  street,  Boston.  He  applied  to  this 
busine.ss  in  its  enlarged  field  the  same 
indefatigable  energy  that  has  ever  char¬ 
acterized  his  relations  with  every  enter¬ 
prise  with  which  he  has  been  associated, 
and  it  stands  today  in  the  front  rank  of 
the  sound  business  houses  of  Boston,  and 
is  a  familiar  name  in  the  cities  and  towns 
of  New  England.  Mr.  Batchelder  has 
for  many  years  been  greatly  interested 
in  the  progressive  religious  movements 
of  the  day,  and  especially  in  those  hav-

ing  for  their  object  the  elevation  of  young  men.  As  a  member  of  the  Mass.  State 
Committee  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  he  has  exerted  a  broad  and  far-reaching  influence. 
He  is  vice-president  of  the  Boston  Fruit  and  Produce  Exchange,  and  was  one  of 
the  leadinir  spirits  in  the  now  famous  legislative  fight  of  this  organization  against

Mr.  Batchelder  has  always  been  a  Republican,  but  has  never  hesitated  to  espouse 
the  cause  of  any  man  who  was  battling  for  a  principle.  He  has  been  criticised  at 
times  as  too  liberal  in  the  stands  he  has  taken  in  public  matters,  bur  the  final  results 
have  justified  his  attitude  and  conclusions.  He  has  served  most  acceptably  on 
various  town  committees,  bringing  his  long  and  practical  business  training  to  his 
aid,  making  his  suggesiions  and  advice  of  the  best.  Personally  he  is  very  quiet 
and  retiring  in  his  characteristics,  and  is  seen  at  his  best  in  the  midst  of  practical 
activities.  The  citizens  of  Everett  have  selected  wisely  in  making  the  choice  of  their 
foremost  candidate  for  the  chief  office  of  our  city  this  gentleman,  who  can  bring 
to  it  a  well-earned  reputation  for  ability,  integrity  and  progressive  ideas,  qualities 
which  marked  him  for  selection  as  the  representative  type  of  the  citizen’s  move¬ 
ment  in  Everett  for  clean  politics  and  upright,  fearless,  business-like  administration 
of  the  city  government.  Res,  Everett,  Mass.  Boston  address.  53  Blackstone  st.

Nathaniel,  Nathaniel,  Nathaniel,  Stephen),  born  East  Andover,  N.  H.,  July  4, 
1823;  m.  at  Manchester,  Feb.  19,  1852,  Adeline  Elizabeth  Shaw,  b.  Oct.  5,  1829; 
d.  Jan.  1896.  He  has  always  lived  on  the  little  rough  and  rocky  farm  where 
his  grandfather,  Capt.  Josiah  B.  settled  in  1782,  and  cleared  from  the  unbroken 
wilderness  — where  his  father  was  born  and  lived  till  his  death  at  the  age  of  76  years. 
None  of  his  immediate  Bachelder  ancestors  were  in  the  Revolutionary  War  of  1776. 
The  family  was  never  Democratic  in  politics,  and,  living  in  a  strong  Democratic 
town,  they  have  never  been  honored  or  ruined  by  office.  His  father,  in  1832,  raised 
the  first  barn  frame  ever  raised  in  town  without  rum,  and  cast  the  first  Liberty 
party  vote  in  the  town  early  in  the  forties.  The  farm— a  typical  New  Hampshire 
farm — is  most  all  rocks,  but  they  have  managed,  without  one  dollar  of  speculation, 
to  live  and  contribute  something  to  a  needy  brother,  and  to  constantly  improve  the 
farm  and  buildings.  He  can  show,  of  his  own  building,  a  farm  wall  16  feet  wide 
and  8  feet  high,  all  taken  from  the  adjoining  land  within  25  rods ;  res.  East  And¬

lowed,  Me.,  paper  is  as  follows:  ‘‘Mr.  Chas.  G.  Bachelder,  an  old  and  well  known 
resident  of  this  city,  died  last  Monday  evening,  aged  about  sixty.  He  owned  for  many 
years  the  block  where  J.  B.  Thomas’s  shoe  store  now  is,  and  was  at  one  time  one 
of  the  heaviest  business  concerns  in  town.  Later  in  life  he  became  embarrassed  in 
business  and  lost  all  his  property.  He  leaves  two  sons,  who  are  engaged  in  busi¬ 
ness  in  Minnesota.  After  the  death  of  his  wife,  to  whom  he  was  passionately 
attached,  ]\Ir.  Bachelder  cared  for  his  little  ones  with  the  aid  of  a  housekeeper. 
He  never  remarried.  Business  reverses  and  ill  health  clouded  the  close  of  a  life 
that  opened  bright  with  hope  and  promise  in  his  young  manhood.  Fond  of  society 
and  having  many  friends,  he  has  rejoined  the  loved  ones  gone  before,  where  partings 
are  no  more,  and  the  old  homesteaa  has  passed  into  the  hands  of  strangers.”  He

ton,  Mass.,  Laura  C.  Merrill,  b.  Nov.  21,  1818;  d.  May  28,  1877.  He  was  b.  in 
Gilmanton,  N.  H.,  and  came  with  the  family  to  Kenduskeag,  Me.,  and  then  to 
Bangor,  Me.  He  then  went  to  Boston  and  learned  the  trade  of  a  machinist,  and 
that  of  mathematical  and  surgical  instruments,  including  artificial  limbs.  This 
specialty  he  followed  for  a  number  of  years,  when  he  went  into  the  manufacture  of 
piano-forte  hardware.  After  establishing  a  successful  business  at  the  expense  of  his 
health,  he  sold  out,  and  moved  onto  a  farm  near  Oldtown,  Me.  A  couple  of  years  of 
this  quietness  was  enough,  when  he  moved  to  town  and  went  into  the  hotel  business 
(keeping  tavern,  then  so-called)  with  a  livery  stable  attached.  At  the  breaking  out  of 
the  Rebellion  he  went  to  the  front  as  i.st  lieut.  of  Co.  C.,  7th  regt.  Maine  Vol. 
infantry.  In  October  (or  September).  1862,  he  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  captain 
of  Co.  C.  same  regiment.  He  served  his  time  out,  with  no  serious  injuries  or 
wounds,  the  regt.  being  with  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  during  the  whole  war,  and 
being  engaged  in  every  battle  of  note  during  that  time,  receiving  personal  praise 
from  Gen.  McClellan  for  the  bravery  shown  (by  the  regt.)  at  Williamsburg.  The 
regt.  had  on  the  colors  Williamsburg,  Malvern  Hill,  2d  Bull  Run,  Antietam,  and 
many  others. 

After  the  close  of  the  war  he  returned  to  Oldtown,  Me.,  and  went  into  the  busi-

ness  of  light  mill  repairs  and  blacksmithing,  having  a  small  machine  and  black¬ 
smith  shop  and  another  building  for  horse-shoeing  and  wagon  repairs.  Owing  to 
the  tight  times  immediately  after  the  war,  he  sold  out  and  went  to  California,  at 
first  following  his  trade  as  an  engineer,  both  on  the  water  and  in  the  lumbering 
district,  in  the  meantime  purchasing  a  ranch  and  raising  stock  and  grain. 

As  a  young  man  in  Boston  he  was  fully  identified  with  the  volunteer  fire  de¬ 
partment  of  that  time,  being  foreman  of  one  of  the  old  hand  engines  for  a  number 
of  years,  and  while  residing  at  Oldtown  was  also  an  active  member  of  the  fire 
department.  During  the  war  his  rrtechanical  ability  was  made  useful  by  his  superior 
officers  in  many  ways,  his  practical  kno  .vledge  coming  in  play  in  many  cases  where- 
immediate  anti  quick  action  was  needed;  res.  Oldtown,  Me.,  Boston,  Mass.,  and

years  he  lived  with  Major  Eastman,  a  farmer.  He  attended  the  district  school  and 
obtained  a  good  education.  At  an  early  age  he  engaged  in  the  earthenware  busi¬

began  the  manufacture  of  earthenware,  and  soon  after  made  stoneware.  He  con¬ 
tinued  in  the  business  and  finally  engaged  in  a  wholesale  trade,  including  crockery 
and  glassware.  With  a  partner,  whose  interest  he  finally  purchased,  he  built  up  a

him  at  Albany,  N.  Y.,  as  general  agent  of  a  large  teriitory.  His  health  failed  a  few 
years  ago,  and  he  came  back  to  the  Green  Mountain  state.  He  has  never  aspired 
to  any  political  position,  and  has  only  been  honored  with  any  political  office  higher  than 
an  alderman.  He  knows  that  his  political  party,  the  prohibition,  is  .small  and  unpop¬ 
ular,  but  he  also  knows  that  it  is  on  the  side  of  right  and  humanity.  He  united 
with  the  Baptist  church  in  Janesville,  Wis.,  in  1858,  held  the  position  of  Sunday 
school  superintendent  and  deacon  in  the  church  a  good  many  years.  After  he  went

and  Chicago,  Ill.,  and  late  in  October  crossed  the  lake  from  Chicago  in  a  little 
steamboat  called  the  “Sam  Ward”  to  New  Buffalo,  the  nearest  railroad  town. 
The  wind  was  strong,  the  waves  were  high,  the  boat  was  short,  and  Bacheldor 
was  seriously  seasick.  A  ride  across  Michigan  to  Detroit,  a  ride  down  to 
Cleveland  in  a  wind  storm,  sent  that  same  Bacheldor  up  the  streets  of  Cleveland 
exceeding!}'  demoralized.  He  taught  classes  in  penmanship  until  the  next  summer 
in  and  around  Newbury;  then  went  to  Massachusetts  and  itinerated,  teaching  pen¬ 
manship,  painting  and  public  school;  then  spent  some  time  lecturing  upon  natural 
history  in  the  villages,  schools  and  academies  in  Berkshire  County.  Early  in  1853 
he  made  a  lecturing  tour  to  Ohio,  taught  classes  in  penmanship  in  Dover,  Ohio, 
and  early  in  April  went  to  Joliet,  Ilk,  and  joined  the  corps  of  engineers  in  the 
building  of  the  Chicago  and  Mississippi — now  the  Chicago,  Alton  and  St.  Louis — 
railroad;  went  with  the  lumber  for  the  first  house  in  Dwight  from  Joliet  in  a  canal 
boat  to  Morris  and  by  teams  across  the  country,  through  wet  sloughs  and  other 
■sloughs  to  the  destination ;  helped  build  the  house  and  lived  in  it  while  the  road 
was  constructed,  having  charge  of  twenty-five  miles  of  the  line  from  Grundy  Co. 
line  to  Pontiac.  Then  he  taught  public  school  in  Joliet  until  called  home  by  the 
death  of  his  brother,  engaged  in  farming  and  teaching  in  Newbury  until  the  fall  of 
185S.  Married  Elizabeth  A.  Griswold.  Taught  penmanship  in  Rensselaer  Co., 
N.  Y.,  and  Berkshire  Co.,  Mass.,  until  the  fall  of  1861;  then  became  principal  of 
Oak  Grove  Seminary,  Pownal,  Vt.,  and  began  preaching  for  the  Baptist  church 
soon  after,  and  taught  and  preached  until  1865,  when  he  gave  up  teaching  for  office 
work  in  the  woolen  mill  of  S.  Wright,  continuing  in  that  tor  three  and  one-half 
years;  then  taught  a  term  in  Oak  Grove  Seminary;  then  in  1869  opened  “Rural 
Home,  a  school  for  boys,”  which  he  continued  thirteen  years,  preaching  in  the 
meantime  in  Pownal,  Bennington  and  North  Bennington,  Vt.,  Hoosick,  Petersburgh, 
Berlin  and  Cambridge,  N.  Y.,  and  Williamstown  and  North  Adams,  Mass.  In  1881 
went  to  Western  North  Carolina  and  developed  a  gold  mining  property  for  Vein 
Mountain  Mining  Co.,  a  company  in  New  York  City,  of  which  Paul  A.  Chadbourn 
was  president ;  in  1882  went  to  Poughkeepsie,  New  York,  took  the  course  in  busi¬ 
ness  and  in  ornamental  penmanship,  and  in  1884  went  to  Greensboro,  N.  C.,  and 
taught  and  preached  until  the  spring  of  1886,  when  he  started  a  business  college 
in  York,  Pa.,  which  he  continued  eight  years,  still  preaching  in  York,  Delta  and

HOW  THE  SEWING  MACHINE  BECAME  PERFECTED. 

A  man  moves  among  the  throngs  of  the  down-town  streets  of  the  city  today 
who  is  an  unthanked  benefactor  of  the  race.  To  those  who  know  him  he  is  a 
pleasant,  unpretentious  man ;  to  those  who  do  not,  a  person  to  be  singled  out  from 
the  endless  proces.sion  of  faces  that  make  up  the  daily  panorama.  His  name  is  John 
Bachelder,  and  without  his  genius  the  world  might  be  chanting  “The  Song  of  the 
Shirt”  with  recurring  applications.  Not  a  sewing  machine  moves  today  but  from 
the  impetus  given  it  by  John  Bachelder’s  inventive  genius,  and  every  shuttle  and 
wheel  sings  a  song  not  understood  by  the  uninitiated,  yet  full  of  meaning.  The 
burden  of  the  pathetic  song  is  that  of  the  old,  old  story  of  the  inventor  unable  to 
profit  by  his  own  achievements.  It  is  the  story  of  the  typewriter  over  again. 

Bachelder,  who  made  the  sewing  machine  commercially  successful,  lostafortune 
at  a  period  when  a  dollar  was  equal  to  three  or  four  today.  John  Bachelder’s  life 
reads  like  a  romance.  He  doesn’t  open  the  book  to  any  one;  he  is  100  proud  for 
that.  No  complaint  escapes  his  lips  regarding  what  might  have  been.  He  is  re¬ 
tired  from  active  life,  not  as  well  off  as  would  seem  to  be  his  due,  but  still  serene  in 
the  knowledge  that  he  wronged  no  one.  He  spends  his  time  now  in  literary  pur¬ 
suits.  Mr.  Bachelder  was  born  in  Weare,  New  Hampshire,  in  1817.  He  had  a 
public  school  and  academic  education  and  taught  for  three  years,  after  which  he 


BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY 


296 


became  an  accountant  in  Boston,  in  connection  with  the  transportation  company 
doing  business  on  the  Middlesex  canal.  This  finally  led  to  the  formation  of  a  part¬ 
nership  to  engage  in  the  transportation  business,  but  the  completion  of  the  railway 
to  Manchester,  N.  H.,  made  that  business  unprofitable  and  he  turned  his  attention 
to  the  dry  goods  business.  In  the  winter  of  1846  he  went  to  Europe  to  purchase 
goods  and  arrange  for  an  importing  business  in  Boston.  This  resulted  a  little 
later  in  the  organization  of  the  firm  of  Bachelder,  Burr  &  Co.,  a  business  that  was 
successful  from  the  start. 

In  the  winter  of  1847  Elias  Howe  had  a  sewing  machine  on  exhibition  in  Boston 
and  Mr.  Bachelder,  in  going  to  and  returning  from  his  store  on  Milk  street,  passed  the 


place'where  it  was  exhibited.  Although  it  was  worthless  for  all  practical  purposes, 
he  became  deeply  interested  in  it,  believing  that  it  might  be  so  improved  as  to 
become  a  labor-saving  machine,  and  finally,  after  spending  much  time  in  experi¬ 
menting  privately  at  his  house,  decided  to  undertake  it.  He  secured  a  small  shop 
and  began  to  master  tbe  trade  of  machinist,  dev-eloping  his  works  until  he  had  a 
dozen  men  employed.  To  do  this  he  abandoned  a  good  paying  business  and  de¬ 
voted  his  whole  attention  to  it  for  about  fiv^e  years.  After  using  all  his  means 
accumulated  in  business  (about  $12,000)  and  borrowed  about  $4,000  of  his  friends, 


•296 


BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY. 


found  it  necessary  to  sell  his  patent,  realizing  only  enough  to  pay  his  debts.  Howe, 
Singer,  Baker  and  others  visited  his  shop  and  saw  his  machines  at  work.  W.  E. 
Baker,  of  the  Grover  &  Baker  Co. ,  made  frequent  visits — ^several  times  a  week  In 
one  of  his  experimental  machines,  he  made  what  is  known  as  the  Grover  &  Baker 
Stitch. 

In  making  it  he  used  one  vertical  and  one  horizontal  needle.  The  Grover 
&  Baker  Co.  built  a  machine  that  was  practically  the  same.  They  substituted  a 
curved  under  needle  or  thread  carrier  in  place  of  the,  straight  horizontal  one.  By 
patencing  his  machine  or  the  stitch  he  might  have  controlled  the  Grover  & 
Baker  machine.  The  two  threads  used  by  him  were  of  the  same  size  and 
caused  an  objectionable  clumsy  ridge  on  the  under  side  of  the  cloth,  which  he 
thought  would  condemn  it,  and  let  it  rest.  Grover  6k  Baker,  in  experimenting, 
found  that  by  using  a  smaller  thread  on  the  under  side  of  the  cloth  that  this  objec¬ 
tion  was  overcome,  and  this  made  it  a  success. 

The  most  important  points  of  his  invention,  however,  were  the  horizontal  sup¬ 
porting  table,  the  continuous  feed,  and  vertical  straight  needle,  features  that  no 
sewing  machine  in  use  today  could  do  without.  His  model  deposited  at  the  patent 
office  showed  conclusively  what  he  had  invented,  though  not  fully  protected.  After 
the  indirect  sale  of  the  patent  to  the  Singer  Co.,  it  was  reissued  and  made  to  cover 
all  points  of  his  invention.  A  combination  was  formed  known  as  the  sewing 
machine  monopoly  bjr  the  Singer  Co.,  Wheeler  &  Wilson  Co.,  and  the  Grover  & 
Baker  Co.  In  a  suit  pending  between  this  combination  and  Howe,  which  appeared 
likely  to  result  in  invalidating  Howe’s  patent,  the  attorneys  of  the  combination  sug¬ 
gested  that  if  declared  void  it  would  become  public  property  and  leave  the  sewing 
machine  business  open  to  public  competition  so  far  as  the  eye-pointed  needle  was 
concerned,  and  that  was  all  of  any  value  claimed  by  Howe.  They  then  decided 
to  Settle  their  differences,  recognize  his  claim,  pay  him  a  small  royalty  to  the  expir¬ 
ation  of  his  patent,  and  use  him  as  a  figurehead.  To  give  the  reader  some  idea 
of  the  value  of  the  Bachelder  patent,  the  Singer  Co.  reported  sales  of  260,000  ma¬ 
chines  for  the  last  year  of  the  existence  of  his  patent.  On  the  day  the  patent 
expired.  May  8th,  1877,  the  price  of  machines  was  reduced  from  $60  to  $30  each. 
Thus,  260,000  multiplied  by  30  makes  the  snug  little  sum  of  $7,800,000,  saved  by  its 
protection  to  that  one  company  in  one  year.  This  patent  has  been  estimated  by 
experts  and  others  to  have  been  worth  over  $100,000,000. 

The  New  York  Times  of  May  8th,  1877,  said:  “The  Bachelder  patent  expires 
at  noon  today.  This  patent,  under  which  the  combination  acted,  has  been  twice 
extended,  and  the  net  profits  of  these  companies  on  the  patent  from  royalties  col¬ 
lected  from  outside  licensed  companies  have  been  at  least  $4,000,000.  All  efforts 
of  the  combination  to  .secure  a  further  extension  having  failed,”  etc. 

The  New  York  Mail  of  the  same  date  said:  “The  expiration  of  the  last  patent 
which  has  linked  together  the  sewing  machine  companies  in  a  powerful  combination 
is  likely  to  prove  a  great  boon  to  the  public.” 

Said  the  New  York  Evening  Post  of  a  few  days  earlier:  “  The  last  of  these 
patents  will  expire  on  Tuesday  next.  This  patent  is  known  as  the  Bachelder 
patent,  and  covers  the  needle  plate,  together  with  all  devices  by  which  cloth  can 
be  fed  between  the  clamping  surfaces.  One  company  is  said  to  have  paid  $800,000 
to  the  combination  in  the  last  ten  years.  A  general  reduction  in  the  price  of  sewing 
machines  is  expected  to  follow  the  expiration  of  the  Bachelder  patent.” 

A  very  good  statement  of  just  what  Mr.  Bachelder  did  for  the  perfection  of  the 
sewing  machine  is  found  in  a  booklet  on  notable  American  inventions  issued  by 
C.  A.  Shaw  &  Co.,  of  Boston.  It  says:  “The  principal  improvements  made  in 
the  sewing  machine  after  Howe  were  those  of  John  Bachelder,  of  Boston,  in  1849. 
In  the  Howe  machine  the  needle  was  curved  and  moved  horizontally  in  the  arc  of 
a  circle.  The  cloth  was  suspended  vertically  and  after  being  fed  along  past  the 
needle  a  short  distance,  had  to  be  moved  back  to  its  normal  position  and  the  oper¬ 
ation  repeated,  both  threads  having  to  be  cut  to  permit  this  to  be  done.  Bachelder 
was  the  first  man  in  the  world  who  ever  built  a  sewing  machine  having  a  hori¬ 
zontal  bedpiece  or  table,  on  which  the  cloth  was  supported,  a  perpendicular  eye- 
pointed  needle,  a  needle  plate,  a  continuous  feed,  and  a  device  for  pressing  the 
cloth  in  the  vicinity  of  the  needle  with  a  yielding  pressure,  five  elements  which  are 
now  found  in  every  modern  sewing  machine  and  without  which  they  would  be 
substantially  worthless.” 

When  Mr.  Bachelder  got  his  machine  on  the  market  and  was  trying  to  introduce 
it,  he  had  a  rather  peculiar  experience  with  the  tailors  of  Boston.  He  went  to 
three  clothing  manufacturers  and  had  each  take  a  machine.  They  started  making 


BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY. 


297 


clothing  with  them,  but  pretty  soon  there  was  a  row  about  it  among  the  journey¬ 
men.  They  thought  their  bread  and  butter  was  threatened,  and  the  men  at  two 
of  the  factories  agreed  to  walk  out  if  the  “d — d  machines”  were  not  dispensed 
with.  Two  firms  gave  in.  The  third,  to  avoid  trouble,  had  a  machine  operated 
privately  at  his  residence  for  doing  fine  stitching  on  satin  vests  which  were  then 
fashionable,  but  the  style  of  the  stitch  gave  his  scheme  away  and  the  machine 
had  to  be  given  up  altogether. 

In  1850  or  ’51  Mr.  Bachelder  made  a  finely  finished  machine  which  was  turned 
over  to  the  combination  and  became  known  as  "the  fighting  machine,”  and  has 
been  on  exhibition  in  court  at  many  important  trials. 

After  his  experience  as  an  inventor,  Mr.  Bachelder  secured  assistance  and 
engaged  in  cotton  manufacturing  at  Lisbon,  Conn.  He  finally  became  sole  pro¬ 
prietor,  but  lost  heavily  above  insurance  when  the  mills  were  destroyed  by  fire. 
He  rebuilt,  but  a  depression  came  on  and  he  finally  sold  out.  He  was  interested 
in  a  woolen  mill  also,  but  this  ceased  to  be  profitable  soon  after  the  close  of  the 
war  and  this  he  sold. 

He  served  as  postmaster  and  town  treasurer  of  Lisbon  and  later,  while  residing 
at  Norwich,  was  made  a  director  of  the  First  National  bank  of  Norwich  and  a 
trustee  of  the  Chelsea  Savings  bank.  In  1875  he  moved  to  Napa,  Cal.,  and  erected 
a  manufacturing  plant  there.  The  great  depression  in  business  on  the  Pacific  coast 
from  1877  to  1880  caused  him  to  lose  heavily,  and  he  soon  after  retired  from  active 
business  life. 

Mr.  Bachelder  has  written  a  good  deal  and  published  a  book  entitled  “A.  D. 
2050,”  suggested  by  Bellamy’s  “Looking  Backward.”  While  in  California  he  be¬ 
came  interested  in  libraries  and  was  for  some  years  a  trustee  of  the  Napa  City 
Library  and  was  president  of  the  board  when  he  left  California.

1668.  JOHN  A.  BATCHELDER  (Hazen  K.,  William,  Jethro,  Nathaniel,  Na¬ 
thaniel,  Nathaniel,  Nathaniel,  Stephen),  b.  Northfield,  N.  H,,  Sept.  16,  1830;  m. 
Sunderland,  Mass.,  July  3,  1852,  Elmina  R.  Worsley,  b.  Jan.  8,  1833.  He  was  born 
in  Northfield,  N.  H.  The  summer  he  was  ii  years  old  his  father  let  him  to  Zeph 
Batchelder,  his  cousin,  to  work  on  his  farm.  The  next  two  years  he  lived  with  his 
sister  Susan.  When  he  was  15  he  went  to  work  with  his  father  at  carpentering. 
At  that  time  most  of  the  work  was  done  by  hand.  Doors,  sash,  blinds,  etc.,  were 
all  made  b}”-  hand.  He  worked  with  his  father  until  he  was  21,  the  last  two  years 
in  company  with  him,  he  having  given  him  his  time.  In  1851  they  dissolved  part¬ 
nership  and  he  went  to  Marlboro,  N.  H. ;  worked  there  and  in  Keene,  N.  H.,  at  his 
trade,  and  other  kinds  of  business,  such  as  making  doors,  sash,  blinds,  clothes-pins, 
etc.  The  summer  of  1857  he  spent  in  Iowa,  Wisconsin  and  Illinois.  In  the  fall  he 
returned  to  N.  H.,  and  worked  at  his  trade  until  1862,  when  he  went  to  work  for 
John  Humphrey  making  patterns.  Afterwards,  when  the  Humphrey  Machine  Co. 
was  formed,  he  was  a  member  of  the  company  and  director  for  ten  years.  He  was 
sent  out  to  set  up  water  wheels,  saw  mills  and  pail,  clothes-pin  and  peg  machinery, 
etc.  He  helped  make  the  patterns  for  and  superintended  the  putting  in  of  the 
largest  turbine  water  wheel  in  the  United  States.  It  was  8  ft.  and  4  in.  in  diameter, 
and  cost,  including  flume,  $11,000.  It  was  put  in  for  the  Tremont  &  Suffolk  Co.,  at 
Lowell,  Mass.  Soon  after  going  to  Keene  in  1862,  he  joined  the  Deluge  Engine 
Company,  and  was  soon  promoted  to  foreman.  In  1874  he  was  appointed  ass’t 
engineer,  and  it  was  during  the  time  that  he  held  that  position  that  a  dangerous 
fire  broke  out  in  Clark’s  block,  and  it  was  his  privilege  to  be  the  means  of  saving 
the  first  Cong,  church  from  destruction.  In  1886  he  was  appointed  chief  of  the  fire 
department,  which  place  he  held  until  1889,  when  he  sold  his  interest  in  the 
Humphrey  Machine  Co.,  and  other  property,  and  went  to  Denver,  Colo.,  where  he 
had  friends.  He  worked  there  and  in  Salt  Lake  City  some  over  three  years,  and 
then  returned  to  Keene  on  account  of  sickness  in  his  family.  Again  he  entered  the 
employment  of  the  Humphrey  Machine  Co.,  where  he  remained  until  the  present 
time.  In  1870  he  was  aj^pointed  jailor  of  Cheshire  Co.,  and  served  five  years.  He 
was  sexton  of  the  Second  Cong,  church  four  years,  and  of  the  First  Cong,  church 
fourteen  years,  nineteen  years  in  all.  He  has  never  used  tobacco  or  intoxicating 
liquors  in  any  form  whatever ;  res.  Keene,  N.  H.

Sept.  8,  1824;  m.  Stanstead,  Oct.  26,  1847,  Hannah  L.  Rogers,  b.  Oct.  29,  1829. 
Milton  J.  Bachelder  was  born  in  Hatley  Sept.  8,  1824,  of  Jethro  Bachelder  and  Esther 
Smith,  his  wife.  He  is  the  youngest  of  four  children,  and  perhaps  for  this  reason 
remained  on  the  old  homestead,  the  eider  brother  and  sisters  having  married  and 
settled  elsewhere  before  his  marriage  to  Hannah  L.  Rogers,  daughter  of  Philip  and 
Louisa  Rogers,  of  Stanstead,  Oct.  26,  1847,  to  whom  were  born  Ella  R.,  who  mar¬ 
ried  J.  W.  Whitcomb;  M.  Louisa,  who  married  John  P.  Bowen,  and  Julia  A.,  who 
died  in  infancy.  He  is  a  prosperous  farmer  and  stock  breeder  of  some  prominence, 
and  prize  winner  at  agricultural  exhibitions.  In  politics  he  is  a  staunch  conservative 
and  champion  of  the  cause  of  right  and  fair  play.  In  educational  matters  he  always 
took  an  active  interest,  holding  the  position  of  trustee  of  Hatley  Academy  after  the 
resignation  of  his  father,  until  the  school  passed  into  the  hands  of  the  municipal 
school  commissioners  and  became  a  model  school.  The  family  are  members  of  St. 
James  Episcopal  Church,  in  which  he  has  ever  manifested  a  lively  interest  and  for 
many  years  acceptably  filled  the  position  of  warden,  and  has  aided  very  generously 
in  its  maintenance.  In  the  shadow  of  this  church  lie  the  mortal  remains  of  his  father 
and  mother  and  nearly  all  the  near  relatives  of  the  family.  In  social  life  he  is 
quiet  and  unassuming,  preferring  the  quiet  of  domestic  life  to  the  turmoil  and  strife 
of  public  life,  consequently  he  never  accepted  any  official  position  more  arduous 
than  that  of  justice  of  the  peace  for  the  district  in  which  he  resides.  He  owns  the

maritime  operations  more  than  any  other  and  should  more  properly  be  classed  as  a 
ship  owmer.  He  was  an  extensive  owner  of  ships,  so  much  so  that,  while  never 
in  command  of  a  vessel,  was  always  addressed  as  Captain  Batchelder. 

He  first  went  to  California  in  the  spring  of  1850 — just  too  late  to  be  a  “pioneer.” 
After  engaging  in  business  between  San  Francisco  and  Puget  Sound,  he  went  to 
Shanghai,  China,  and  there  built  and  owned  the  first  large  steamship  con¬ 
structed  on  the  China  coast.  About  the  time  of  the  launch  of  this  steamship  he 
gained  great  reputation  by  performing  the  apparently  impossible  task  of  raising  the 
fine  British  steamer,  “Ajax,”  accidentally  sunk  in  the  main  channel  of  the  Shanghai 
anchorage.  Although  the  task  was  considered  so  difficult  that  he  received  $60,000 
for  its  accomplishment  the  steamer  was  afloat  and  the  channel  cleared  in  four  days. 
At  the  breaking  out  of  the  Civil  War  in  Japan  he  went  from  China  to  the  latter 
country  in  the  service  of  the  Mikado,  transporting  the  imperial  troops  in  his  vessels. 
His  residence  in  Tokio  was  leased  by  the  U.  S.  government  for  use  as  a  legation 
residence  of  its  minister  at  the  Japanese  court.  He  was  a  man  of  marked  ability, 
who  added  additional  lustre  to  the  American  reputation  for  pluck,  energy  and  enter¬ 
prise  in  the  far  east.  He  died  from  sunstroke  in  the  summer  of  1883,  at  Hakone, 
just  after  winning  a  suit  against  the  Japanese  government  for  the  seizure  of  one  of 
his  steamers  during  the  war.  He  d. ,  Hakone  Mountains,  Japan,  Aug.  16,  1883;

Daniel  B.  Stevens,  b.  Aug.  5,  1830  (see).  John  B.  Batchelder  was  born  in  Gil- 
manton,  and  died  in  Hyde  Park,  Mass.  He  is  well  known  as  the  government 
historian  of  the  Battle  of  Gettysburg.  Shortly  after  the  battle  he  went  on  to  the 
field  by  order  of  the  United  States  auhorities  and  began  what  proved  his  life  work, 
for  he  had  ever  since  been  collating  the  facts  and  writing  out  the  history  of  this 
conflict.  It  fills  thousands  of  pages  and  is  unfinished.  He  had  traversed  the 
field  day  after  day,  and  from  personal  interviews  with  the  men  engaged  on  both 
sides  in  that  battle  he  could  tell  any  combatant  just  where  his  place  was  in  that 
great  struggle.  He  could  point  out  the  actual  place  that  every  regiment.  Union  or 
Confederate,  occupied  in  the  great  struggle.  Beside  the  writing  he  has  done  for 
the  government,  he  is  the  author  of  several  publications,  including,  “The  Illustrated 
Tourist’s  Guide,’’  “Gettysburg;  What  to  See  and  How  to  See  It,’’  “Geometrical 
Drawing  of  the  Gettysburg  Battlefield,’’  “Historical  Paintings  of  the  Battle  of 
Gettysburg,’’  “Last  Hours  of  Lincoln,”  and  “Popular  Resorts  and  How  to  Reach 
Them.”  Colonel  Batchelder  has  resided  in  Hyde  Park  about  twenty  years.  Col¬ 
onel  Batchelder  married  m  early  life.  At  his  death  he  was  a  director  of  the  Gettys¬ 
burg  Battlefield  Memorial  Association,  which  was  incorporated  in  1864-1865  and 
1885.  He  d.  Dec.  22,  1894:  res.  Hyde  Park,  Mass.

years’  attendance,  he  left  to  enter  the 
army  in  September,  1861.  He  served

sion  in  Surry,  Me.,  the  same  year.  In 
1879  he  mov'ed  to  Machias,  Me.,  where 
his  practice  is  very  e.xtensive  and  in  cer¬ 
tain  lines  is  considered  to  be  very  suc¬ 
cessful.  In  1887,  took  a  post  graduate 
course  in  Bennett  Medical  College,  in 
Chicago,  Ill.  In  1888  was  elected  pro¬ 
fessor  of  theory  and  practice  in  Bennett 
college.  Resigned  his  position  in  Ben¬

He  was  born  in  the  township  of  Phippsburg,  not  far  from  Bath,  Me.  He  resided 
with  his  mother  after  his  father’s  death,  until  he  was  16,  and  then  went  to  Philadel¬ 
phia  to  go  into  the  office  of  his  uncle,  W.  S.  Russell,  a  cotton  merchant.  When  the 
war  broke  out  he  enlisted  in  the  71st  Pennsylvania  vols.,  which  represented  the 
State  of  California  at  the  opening  of  the  war.  At  the  formation  of  the  ii8th  Penn¬ 
sylvania  (Corn  Exchange  regt.)  he  resigned  the  71st  and  was  made  ist  lieut.  in  the 
iiSth.  In  the  spring  of  ’65  he  resigned  entirely  from  the  army  and  was  married  to 
Nellie  A.  Rowe,  of  Harper’s  Ferry,  W.  Va. ,  whom  he  had  met  during  his  soldier 
life.  They  were  married  in  Clarksburg,  W.  Va.  He  was  once  more  in  business 
with  his  uncle,  and  also  for  himself.  When  the  oil  excitement  broke  out  he  went 
into  that,  and  lived  at  Pittsburg,  Pa.  In  1872  he  moved  to  Parker’s  Landing,  the 
then  booming  oil  country.  He  served  one  term  as  president  of  the  oil  exchange 
during  its  busiest  time,  and  in  the  fall  of  1878  moved  to  Titusville,  Pa.,  to  accept  a 
position  in  the  then  forming  Tide  Water  Pipe  Company.  He  remains  there  still.

in  Bath,  N.  H.,  was  apprenticed  to  Peter  Bonney,  an  early  settler  of  Littleton, 
N.  H.,  and  a  man  of  wealth  who  carried  on  quite  a  business  for  those  times — in 
leather — tanning,  currying,  harnessmaking  and  shoemaking.  He  lived  with  Mr. 
Bonney  some  years,  and  then  married  Lucretia  Labaree,  of  Charlestown,  N.  H.,  and 
settled  in  Bedford,  N.  H.,  where  his  children  were  born.  In  1836,  he  bought  the 
old  Peter  Bonney  “stand”  in  Littleton  and  moved  there  in  the  spring  of  1837  and 
carried  on  the  leather  business.  About  1 860  he  disposed  of  this  and  kept  a  shoe 
store  as  long  as  he  did  business.  His  early  advantages  were  limited.  He  was, 
however,  a  bright,  shrewd,  intelligent  man,  and  handsome  withal,  and  full  of  fun 
and  geniality.  When  his  dark  eyes  began  to  twinkle  as  he  talked,  you  might  be

Rand;  res.  117  Falmouth  street,  Boston,  Mass.,  s.  p.  lawyer. 
Charles  White  Rand,  son  of  Hamlin  Rand,  a  prominent  business 
man  of  Grafton  County,  was  born  in  Bath,  July  5,  1819.  He  was 
graduated  at  Wesleyan  University  in  1841,  standing  second  in  his 
class,  his  brother,  the  late  Judge  E.  D.  Rand,  having  first  place. 
After  leaving  college,  he  entered  the  office  of  Hoil.  Henry  A.  Bel¬ 
lows,  in  Littleton,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  three  years  later. 
He  opened  an  office  in  Littleton,  where  he  continued  in  the  prac¬ 
tice  of  his  profession  until  his  death. 

Mr.  Rand  came  to  the  bar  thoroughly  equipped  for  his  work. 
He  was  uncommonly  well  grounded  in  the  principles  of  the  law,  and 
he  had  acquired  in  college,  and  as  a  student  of  law,  habits  of  in¬ 
dustry  which  were  to  last  through  life.  His  mind  was  cultivated 
and  enriched  by  constant  and  varied  reading  of  the  best  authors, 
and  he  retained  to  the  end,  and  found  opportunities  to  gratify,  his 
fondness  for  general  literature  to  an  extent  quite  uncommon 
among  those  whose  time  is  largely  engrossed  by  the  demands  of 
a  professional  business.  His  work  was  always  well  and  conscien¬ 
tiously  done.  He  was  among  the  foremost  equity  lawyers  at  the 
bar  of  the  state.  He  was  appointed  by  President  Lincoln  United 
States  District  Attorney  for  New  Hampshire,  a  position  he  held 
for  nearly  ten  terms.  He  brought  to  the  discharge  of  his  duties 
in  this  position,  such  industry,  patience  and  knowledge  of  consti¬ 
tutional  law  as  to  facilitate  the  dispatch  of  business  and  secure  the 
rights  of  the  government  which  he  represented.  In  his  domestic 
and  social  relations  Mr.  Rand  was  particularly  fortunate  and 
happy.  He  married,  June  24,  1847,  Jane  ]\I.,  daughter  of  the  late 
Otis  Batchelder,  who  survives  him.  He  was  very  companionable, 
fond  of  a  good  story,  and  delighted  in  the  discussion  of  his  favorite 
authors.  He  seldom  if  ever  lost  a  friend,  and  won  and  retained 
the  confidence  of  all  who  came  in  contact  with  him.  He  d.  Aug.

Mass.,  daily  paper  has  the  following;  “Mrs.  Sarah  Ann  (Hale),  widow  of  the  late 
Stephen  J.  Batchelder,  who  died  Sunday  evening  in  Haverhill,  Mass.,  was  born  in 
Exeter  Sept.  13,  1812.  She  was  the  oldest  of  nine  children,  two  of  whom,  a  brother 
at  Wilmington,  Mass.,  and  a  sister  at  Whitinsville,  Mass.,  survive  her.  She  became 
a  Christian  in  early  life,  and  before  her  marriage  united  with  the  Baptist  church  at 
Exeter,  transferring  her  membership  to  the  Merrimack  street  Baptist  church  of  this 
city,  after  her  removal  here  in  1845.  She  was  married  to  Stephen  J.  Batchelder,  of 
Deerfield,  April  14,  1833.  After  forty-three  years  of  wedded  life  Mr.  Batchelder 
died  May  4,  1876,  leaving  Mrs.  Batchelder  and  six  children,  two  sons  and  four 
daughters,  to  mourn  his  loss,  one  daughter  having  died  before  him.  Her  home 
continued  to  be  in  Manchester,  her  daughter  Sarah  living  with  her,  until  an  injury 
received  by  the  daughter  necessitated  the  breaking  up  of  the  home  some  nine  years 
ago.  After  the  brief  time  spent  with  relatives  she  and  her  daughter  went  to  Haver¬ 
hill,  and  have  since  made  their  home  with  her  daughter,  Mrs.  Frederick  Kn  owl  ton, 
at  13  Davenport  street.  Having  lived  in  Manchester  over  forty  years  she  was  anxious 
to  attend  the  semi-centennial  celebration  here  in  September  last,  but  was  prevented 
by  ill  health.  It  was  a  pleasure  to  her,  however,  to  wear  one  of  the  badges  at  home. 
As  a  wife  and  mother  she  was  faithful  and  devoted,  a  kind  neighbor  and  friend, 
a  sincere  Christian.  She  was  fond  of  music,  instrumental  and  vocal,  and  was  a 
good  singer.  Two  years  ago  she  had  a  severe  illness  and  since  that  time  her  health 
has  been  poor.  Her  last  illness  was  of  just  two  weeks’  duration.  Her  daughter 
Sarah  has  been  devoted  in  her  care  for  her  mother,  while  all  the  daughters  were 
able  to  administer  to  her  needs  during  her  last  days.  Her  children  are  Airs.  G.  W. 
Cilley,  Norwich,  Conn. ;  J.  Warren  Batchelder,  Dorchester,  Alass. ;  Stephen  H. 
Batchelder,  Manchester,  and  Mrs.  N.  B.  Dickey,  Mrs.  Knowlton  and  Miss  Sarah 
Batchelder,  of  Haverhill.  She  also  leaves  nine  grandchildren  and  three  great¬ 
grandchildren,  besides  other  relatives  and  friends.’’  He  d.  May  4,  1876.  Res.

He  went  to  Haverhill  and  recruited  a  company  at  his  own  expense  for  the  First 
Massachusetts  Cavalry,  to  which  he  had  been  assigned  by  the  governor,  John  A.  An¬ 
drew.  He  was  commissioned  as  first  lieutenant  and  adjutant,  Oct.  31,  1861,  in  that 
regiment.  When  Gen.  Robert  Williams  took  command  of  the  regiment  he  did  him  the 
honor  to  make  him  his  adjutant.  (Gen.  Williams  retired  last  year  from  the  position 
as  adjutant-general  of  the  army.)  He  was  made  a  captain  of  cavalry  June  28,  1862. 
He  was  with  the  army  of  the  Potomac  until  after  the  battle  of  Antietam,  when  he 
retired  on  account  of  disabilities.  He  has  since  that  time  always  kept  up  his 
acquaintance  with  officers  of  the  regular  army.  He  served  in  twenty-one  different 
engagements.  His  business  life  has  been  quite  active  in  the  higher  branches  of 
railroading  and  lumber;  president  of  Boston  Chemical  Company.  Several  years 
have  been  devoted  to  travel  in  this  country  and  abroad.  He  went  to  Oklahoma 
four  years  ago  to  visit  some  officers  at  Fort  Sill  for  the  purpose  of  hunting ;  became 
interested  in  the  country  and  he  has  taken  a  very  active  part  in  building  and  accumu¬ 
lating  real  estate ;  as  a  public  man  he  is  a  member  of  the  governor’s  staff  (aide  de 
camp)  and  organized  the  best  county  in  the  territory.  He  is  now  trying  to  with¬ 
draw  from  business  and  public  life  that  he  may  enjoy  a  peaceful  and  just  existence.

1982.  JOHN  PICKERING  BATCHELDER  (Timothy,  Simon,  David,  Simon, 
Stephen,  Nathaniel,  Nathaniel,  Stephen),  b.  Deerfield,  N.  H.,  Jan.  18,  1835;  m.  at 
Allenstown  March  24,  1858,  Betsey  B.  Marden,  b.  Dec.  2,  1834.  John  Pickering 
was  the  second  child  born  to  Timothy  and  Mary  B.  Batchelder ;  his  birth  took  place 
in  the  old  Batchelder  homestead  in  Allenstown.  His  father  for  many  years  kept  the 
hotel  in  Deerfield,  just  over  the  Allenstown  line.  In  those  days  of  the  stage  coach 
the  immediate  vicinity  of  the  place  where  he  grew  to  manhood  presented  at  times 
animated  and  impressive  scenes.  The  great  industry  was  the  manufacture  of  shoes. 
Nearly  every  dwelling  house  had  its  little  shoe  shop  attached  in  which  were  em¬ 
ployed  from  one  to  a  dozen  men  engaged  in  making  shoes.  The  women,  too,  were 
not  idle.  Lucy  Larcom  in  her  poem  of  “Hannah  at  the  Window  Binding  Shoes,’’ 
has  drawn  the  picture  of  that  part  which  the  women  took  in  affairs  in  this  little 
settlement,  as  it  then  existed.  These  products  of  industry  were  freighted  over  the 
road  to  Haverhill,  Mass.,  and  other  places  by  what  was  known  as  the  “freighter,” 
a  functionary  cracking  his  long  lash  whip  around  the  ears  of  his  four  or  six  spirited 
horses  and  dashing  down  those  steep  and  rocky  descents  for  which  old  New  Hamp¬ 
shire  is  famous,  was  looked  upon  as  a  mighty  man.  His  coming  was  eagerly  looked 
forward  to,  for  he  was  “banker”  as  well  as  “freighter.”  These  shoes  were  what 
they  then  called  “pegged”  work,  that  is,  the  soles  were  fastened  to  the  uppers  with 
long  wooden  pegs,  and  it  was  all  hand  work.  High  prices  were  obtained  for  making 
these  shoes  and  there  was  always  work  for  everybody.  Now  this  entire  locality,  in 
common  with  other  New  Hampshire  towns  which  depended  upon  this  industry, 
presents  a  lamentable  deterioration.  The  style  of  shoes  and  the  methods  of  making 
them  have  entirely  changed.  The  great  centers  of  manufacture,  with  their  wealth 
and  improved  machinery,  have  drawn  to  themselves  not  only  the  business  of  making 
shoes,  but  they  have  drawn  along  with  it  many  of  these  very  families  as  well,  the 
descendants  of  which  to  this  very  day  pursue  there  the  calling  of  their  ancestors. 
Today,  as  one  drives  through  that  abandoned  settlement,  how  strongly  comes  to 
mind  with  all  its  sweet  grewsomeness  Goldsmith’s  “Deserted  Village.”  Reared 
amongst  such  surroundings  it  was  but  natural  that  the  boy  should  at  an  early  age 
turn  his  attention  to  learning  the  trade  of  a  shoemaker.  He  started  out  to  do  this 
at  the  age  of  fourteen  years.  It  was  said  no  one  in  that  locality  could  make  as 
fine  a  shoe  as  he.  For  fifteen  years  he  continued  in  this  business,  part  of  the  time 
employing  men  to  work  for  him  and  making  considerable  money.  In  1857  he 
married  Betsey  Brown,  daughter  of  Israel  and  Rachel  Marden,  of  Allenstown,  a 
lady  noted  throughout  the  community  in  which  she  lived  for  her  gracious  and  noble 
qualities  of  heart  and  mind.  At  this  time  John  Tim,  as  he  was  always  called,  and 
his  brother  Horace,  owned  the  old  Batchelder  homestead;  they  fitted  it  up  and 
moved  in  with  their  families.  Here  were  born  two  sons.  About  thirty  years  ago 
he  purchased  the  Clarke  estate  on  the  main  road  in  Allenstown,  situated  five  miles 
from  the  village  of  Suncook,  where  he  and  his  esteemed  wife  are  still  living. 
Shortly  after  the  purchase  of  the  Clark  estate  the  Suncook  Valley  Railroad  was 
built,  a  road  which  runs  from  Hooksett  to  Pittsfield.  It  became  necessary  to  employ 
a  man  to  carry  the  mails  from  the  Allenstown  depot  to  the  postoffice,  a  distance  of 
a  little  over  two  miles.  Mr.  Batchelder’s  bid  was  accepted  and  he  has  ever  since 
been  in  the  employ  of  the  government  in  this  capacity.  In  all  the  years  he  has 
carried  the  mails  he  has  never  missed  getting  through  in  time  to  connect  with  the 
train,  although  many  times  in  winter,  on  account  of  the  deep  snow,  he  has  been 
obliged  to  walk  through,  carrying  the  mail  bag  the  entire  distance,  as  no  horse 
could  have  got  through  the  drifts.  He  has  made  many  changes  and  improvements 
in  his  buildings,  and  now  has  one  of  the  finest  homes  in  that  part  of  the  country, 
to  which  he  is  very  much  attached,  never  having  been  away  from  home  to  be  gone 
over  night  for  twenty-five  years.  In  his  younger  days  he  was  called  a  very  hand¬ 
some  man,  and  today,  with  his  sixty-two  years,  one  would  not  hesitate  to  place 
his  age  twenty  years  under  what  it  really  is.  Within  two  miles  of  where  he  was 
born  he  has  always  lived.  Although  he  has  never  traveled,  yet  he  has  friends  far 
and  near,  and  this  because  of  the  proverbial  good  cheer  with  which  he  greets  every 
one.  Res.  Allenstown,  N.  H.

Abbie  E.  Bartlett,  b.  Aug.  19,  1859.  John  F.  Batchelder  was  born  in  Laconia, 
N.  H.,  on  the  old  homestead,  and  received  not  only  a  common  school  education, 
but,  under  the  tuition  of  a  private  teacher,  became  familiar  with  many  of  the 
branches  of  education  taught  in  an  academy.  It  was  designed  by  his  parents  that 
he  should  take  a  course  at  law,  but  the  young  man  did  not  agree  with  them,  and  at 
the  age  of  18  apprenticed  himself  with  Judge  O.  A.  J.  Vaughan,  of  Laconia,  the 
proprietor  and  editor  of  the  “Laconia  Democrat,”  to  learn  the  printer’s  trade,  he 
boarding  with  his  employer.  Judge  Vaughan,  who  was  a  prominent  lawyer  and 
politician,  was  a  man  of  strong  literary  tastes,  and  possessed  a  large  and  well 
selected  library,  in  addition  to  his  law  library.  The  apprentice  was  treated  as  one 
of  the  family,  attending  with  them  the  First  Congregational  church,  and  spent  most 
of  his  time  in  acquainting  himself  with  the  contents  of  Judge  Vaughan’s  books.  In 
his  second  year  the  Judge,  feeling  the  necessity  of  having  someone  at  his  office 
evenings,  furnished  a  small  room  adjoining  his  law  library,  and  there  the  young  man 
slept.  During  this  year  he  read  Blackstone,  Kent’s  commentaries,  Chitty  on  Plead¬ 
ing,  Greenlief  on  Evidence,  etc.  At  the  close  of  his  second  year,  desiring  to  learn 
job  work  and  not  seeing  much  chance  in  the  Democrat  office,  he  left  Judge 
Vaughan’s  employ,  and  engaged  himself  with  Fred  H.  Coffin,  job  printer,  where  he 
finished  his  third  year.  At  this  time.  Judge  Vaughan’s  foreman  leaving,  Mr. 
Batchelder  returned  to  the  Democrat  as  its  foreman.  Two  years  later  he  left  his 
position  to  take  charge  of  the  Pittsfield  Star,  a  paper  printed  at  Pittsfield,  N.  H. 
Not  liking  this  place,  after  a  few  months  he  left  and  went  to  Haverhill,  Mass.,

improved  farm  on  Section  14,  White  River  township,  is  one  of  the  heroic  defenders 
of  the  old  flag,  to  whose  courage  we  owe  the  liberty  of  which  our  country  boasts. 
He  is  the  son  of  John  D.  and  Bessie  (Brockway)  Batchelder,  natives  of  Vermont, 
who  came  to  Michigan  nearly  sixty-three  years  ago,  and  settled  in  Yorkville  at  a  period 
so  early  in  the  history  of  that  now  thriving  place  that  even  the  most  prophetic  eye 
could  scarcely  have  discerned  its  present  prosperity.  Some  time  after  settling  in 
Galesburg,  the  stepmother  of  our  subject  was  killed  by  a  tornado,  the  mother  of  our 
subject  dying  when  he  was  seven  months  old.  To  the  second  union  four  children 
were  born.  His  father  afterward  married  again.  From  Yorkville  he  went  to  Gales¬ 
burg,  and  from  Galesburg  he  moved  to  Nebraska.  By  the  death  of  his  mother, 
when  only  seven  months  old  he  went  to  live  with  relatives  in  Malone,  N.  Y. ,  who 
reared  him  as  their  own  child.  Until  he  was  17  years  old  he  supposed  they  were 
his  own  parents.  He  received  an  excellent  education,  both  common  and  academic, 
and  entered  Albion  College.  At  the  age  of  23  he  was  foreman  of  the  Lansing  & 
Grand  Traverse  R.'  R.,  but  after  working  in  that  capacity  for  a  short  time,  he  re¬ 
signed  and  proceeded  to  Saginaw,  where  he  worked  in  a  mill  until  the  commence¬ 
ment  of  the  Civil  War.  Nov.  16,  1861,  the  name  of  William  D.  Batchelder  was 
enrolled  as  a  member  of  Company  D,  12th  Michigan  Infantry,  and  as  a  private  in 
the  ranks  he  participated  in  the  battles  of  Shiloh,  Corinth,  luka,  Tallahatchie,  and 
all  the  engagements  of  Gens.  Prentiss  and  John  A.  Logan’s  divisions,  up  to  and 
including  Middleburg.  After  a  year’s  active  service  he  was  appointed  on  detached 
service  in  the  Fifth  Ohio  Heavy  Artillery,  stationed  at  Duvall’s  Bluff  and  Little 
Rock,  Ark.  Later  he  was  transferred  to  the  ad  Missouri  Light  Artillery,  and  with 
this  regiment  saw  some  active  fighting  at  White  River.  He  was  especially  fortu¬ 
nate,  for  he  was  neither  wounded  nor  imprisoned  during  the  entire  period  of  his 
service,  covering  three  years  and  three  months.  He  was  discharged  in  1865  in 
Arkansas,  and  after  a  short  sojourn  in  Albion  went  to  Muskegon  County  and 
purchased  a  farm,  where  he  has  since  resided.  He  is  connected  with  the  G.  A.  R., 
and  is  prominently  identified  with  it.  Through  economy  and  industry  he  has  suc¬ 
ceeded  in  gaining  a  competency  and  is  highly  esteemed  and  respected.  Res.  Mon¬

July  26,  1894,  Mrs.  Amelia  Cronsio.  James  H.  Batchelder,  the  subject  of  this  sketch, 
was  born  on  the  old  Batchelder  homestead,  in  Plainfield,  Vt.  When  but  five  years 
of  age,  his  parents  removed  to  Marshfield,  Vt.,  and  resided  there  until  1862, 
when  they  removed  to  Barre  village,  Vt.  There  were  few  advantages  in  those 
days  for  an  education,  and  the  tame  life  on  the  farm  was  to  him  a  wearisome  one. 
Two  months  of  school  in  the  summer  and  two  or  three  months  in  the  winter,  was 


HON.  JAMES  HENRY  BATCHEI.DER. 


the  extent  in  those  days.  This  and  three  years  of  school  in  Barre  Academy,  were 
the  limit  of  the  advantages  received.  In  1864  occurred  his  marriage  with  Miss 
Phoebe  H.  Gove,  of  Lincoln,  Vt. ,  by  which  three  children  were  born:  Mary,  who 
died  in  infancy ;  Mark  D.  Batchelder,  now  of  Atlanta,  Ga.,  and  Florence  A.,  who 
married  Charles  C.  Mitchell,  of  Peoria,  Ill.  After  his  marriage  he  spent  one  year 
on  the  farm  in  Marshfield,  Vt.,  and  in  1867  engaged  in  the  mercantile  business  and 
later  in  the  lumber  trade,  as  a  manufacturer  and  wholesale  dealer,  with  mills  in 


BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY. 


Michigan  and  yards  in  Vermont  and  Boston,  Mass.  This  business  was  continued 
until  1878.  Mr.  Batchelder  was,  in  1876  and  1877,  a  member  of  the  Vermont  legisla¬ 
ture,  and  in  Vermont  held  different  offices  of  trust.  In  1879  he  located  in  Chicago, 
removing  from  there  to  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  in  1884,  and  then  engaged  in  the  manufacture 
of  strawboard  tillers  for  egg  cases  and  boxes  of  all  kinds,  with  lumber  and  box  mills 
at  Helena,  Ark.,  and  stores  in  St.  Louis,  Kansas  City,  Chicago.  This  business  he 
continued  until  i8go.  His  was  the  first  box  mill  built  south  of  Cairo,  Ill.  In  1893, 
Mr.  Batchelder  located  in  Tama,  la.,  purchasing  mills  at  that  place  for  making  paper, 
and,  rebuilding  the  same,  has  now  a  paper  mill  of  24,000  lbs.  capacity  daily  of 
strawboard,  and  then  this  is  all  manufactured  by  his  company  into  egg  case  fillers, 
making  the  largest  factory  of  its  kind  in  the  world.  Mr.  Batchelder  is  also  the 
inventor  of  a  machine  for  making  the  egg  case  fillers,  which  takes  the  strawboard 
paper  in  the  roll  and  cuts,  punches  and  slots  700  pieces  per  minute  and  puts  them 
together  in  a  perfect  cell  rack,  as  used  in  boxes  for  packing  eggs.  This  device  does 
the  labor  of  a  hundred  employes.  Mr.  Batchelder  employs  200  people  in  his 
factory.  Res.  Tama  City,  la.

R.  I.,  June  23,  1834.  William  W.  Batchelder,  the  son  of  Parley  and  Alzada  Batch¬ 
elder,  was  born  in  Providence,  R.  I.,  March  19,  1832.  He  moved  from  the  city  at 
an  early  age  and  returned  in  1855.  Having  learned  the  carpenter’s  trade,  he  contin¬ 
ued  in  that  business  until  1866,  when  he  became  associated  with  Dexter  Gorton 
under  the  firm  name  of  Dexter  Gorton  &  Co.,  contractors  and  builders.  The  firm 
was  dissolved  in  1881,  Mr.  Gorton  retiring  and  Mr.  Batchelder  forming  a  co-partner¬

born  in  Montpelier,  Vt.  He  prepared  for  college  at  the  Montpelier  graded  school 
and  the  Vermont  Methodist  seminary,  alternating  his  study  with  teaching  in  the 
public  schools  of  the  state.  He  was  graduated  from  Middlebury  College  in  the  class 
of  1874.  After  graduation  he  was  elected  professor  of  mathematics  and  chemistry 
in  the  collegiate  institute  at  Hackettstown,  New  Jersey,  where  he  remained  seven

years,  acting  most  of  the  time  as  vice-president.  After  his  resignation,  he  removed 
to  Trenton,  N.  J.,  where  he  was  soon  admitted  to  the  bar,  having  prosecuted  his 
law  studies  while  at  Hackettstown.  Not  intending  to  enter  upon  the  practice  of 
law,  he  now  devoted  himself  to  special  preparation  for  a  college  professorship,  and 
early  in  1883  was  elected  professor  of  physical  science  in  Hamline  University,  St. 
Paul,  Minn.,  which  position  he  still  occupies.  Soon  after  assuming  this  position  he 
was  elected  vice-president  of  the  institution,  and  later,  when  other  departments  of 
the  university  were  organized,  he  was  made  dean  of  the  college  of  liberal  arts.  He 
has  been  for  eight  years  professor  of  general  and  analytical  chemistry  in  the  sum¬ 
mer  school  of  the  Chautauqua  College  of  Liberal  Arts  at  Chautauqua,  N.  Y.,  and  is 
conducting  the  school  of  physical  sciences  of  the  Chautauqua  College,  department 
of  correspondence  work,  and  is  a  lecturer  in  the  Chautauqua  University  Extension 
Courses.  He  is  also  in  frequent  demand  as  a  lecturer  on  scientific  and  other 
subjects;  is  this  year  (1897)  the  president  of  the  college  section  of  the  Minnesota 
State  Teachers’  Association,  vice-president  of  the  Vermont  Association  of  Minne¬ 
apolis  (a  social  organization  for  good  fellowship  and  reunions  of  the  Green  Mountain 
Boys),  and  is  a  member  of  the  Masonic  fraternity. 

While  Prof.  Batchelder  is  a  progressive  and  devoted  student  of  the  physical 
sciences,  he  still,  by  way  of  relaxation,  or,  as  he  says,  to  keep  himself  out  of  ruts, 
gives  every  year  considerable  time  to  the  science  of  law,  and  in  this  connection,  he 
delivers  to  the  senior  class  of  the  university  a  course  of  lectures  on  Constitutional 
Law.  Prof.  Batchelder  was  married  in  1882,  to  Miss  Fanny  Gulick,  daughter  of 
Rev.  J.  G.  Gulick,  of  Elmira,  N.  Y.  Res.  St.  Paul,  Minn.

BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY 


Andover,  N.  H.,  now  known  as  “Highland  Home.’’  His  is  a  typical  New  England 
farm  house,  and  the  location,  which  is  about  a  mile  and  a  quarter  from  the  railroad 
station  at  East  Andover,  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful  in  Merrimack  County,  over¬ 
looking  the  silvery  waters  of  Highland  lake,  and  commanding  delightful  views  in 
many  directions,  embracing  some  magnificent  mountain  scenery  in  which  Kear- 
sage.  Ragged,  Monadnock,  and  Ossipee  mountains  are  prominent  features.  The 
farm  was  settled  and  cleai'ed  from  the  wilderness  by  Capt.  Josiah  Bachelder,  from 
the  town  of  Hawke,  now  Danville,  who  located  there  in  1782.  He  (Nahum)  was 
educated  at  the  public  schools,  at  Franklin  Academy  and  at  the  New  Hampton 
Institution.  After  a  short  experience  m  teaching  he  applied  himself  energetically 
to  practical  agriculture.  He  was  for  a  time  quite  extensively  engaged  in  market 
gardening.  Subsequently  he  gave  his  attention  to  choice  dairying,  with  much  suc¬ 
cess,  supplying  some  of  the  leading  hotels  in  the  state  with  “gilt  edge’’  butter.  He 
identified  himself  with  the  Patrons  of  Husbandry  early  in  its  history  in  New  Hamp¬ 
shire.  He  was  for  four  years  master  of  his  local  grange  and  for  eight  years  secre¬ 
tary  of  the  State  Grange,  until  elected  master  in  1891.  As  secretary  he  accomplished 
great  progress,  and  as  master  carried  forward  the  work  with  unprecedented  success. 
He  was  the  charter  lecturer  of  Merrimack  County  Pomona  Qrange,  and  secretary  of 
the  New  Hampshire  Grange  State  Fair  Association  from  its  organization  in  1886, 
with  the  exception  of  a  single  year,  until  January,  i8g6,  when  he  declined  a  re- 
election,  and  to  his  systematic,  and  indefatigable  labors  the  remarkable  success  of 
the  Association  has  been  largely  due. 

Among  the  members  of  the  National  Grange  Mr.  Bachelder  holds  high  rank, 
and  his  influence  is  strongly  felt.  He  was  chiefly  instrumental  in  securing  the 
session  of  that  body  in  1892  for  this  state,  and  for  New  England  again  at  Worcester, 
in  November,  1895,  where  his  ability  and  influence  were  duly  recognized  by  his 
selection  as  a  member  of  the  executive  committee  of  that  great  organization. 

As  commissioner  of  immigration,  to  which  office  he  was  appointed  by  Governor 
Goodell,  and  whose  duties  have  since  been  merged  with  those  of  secretary  of  the 
Board  of  Agriculture,  he  has  done  much  to  bring  about  the  re-occupation  of  the 
abandoned  farms  of  the  state,  and  as  a  member  of  the  State  Cattle  Commission,  he 
has  been  active  and  alert  in  checking  the  inroads  of  disease.  He  has  taken  an 
active  part  as  a  speaker  at  the  institute  meetings  of  the  Board,  discussing  dairying 
and  other  topics  in  an  entertaining  manner.  His  general  addresses  at  Grange  field 
meetings  and  other  large  gatherings  have  gained  him  a  wide  reputation  as  an 
eloquent  and  interesting  speaker ;  while  his  annual  reports  as  secretary  of  the  Board 
of  Agriculture,  his  addresses  as  master  of  the  State  Grange,  and  his  frequent  con¬ 
tributions  to  the  press,  upon  agricultural  and  grange  topics,  stamp  him  as  a  ready 
and  forcible  writer. 

Mr.  Bachelder  is  a  Republican  in  politics,  but  by  no  means  a  politican.  He  has 
never  sought  public  office,  and  has  held  none,  aside  from  that  in  connection  with 
the  board  of  agriculture,  except  that  of  superintending  school  committee  for  three 
years  in  the  Democratic  town  of  Andover.  In  1891,  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts 
was  conferred  upon  him  by  Dartmouth  College.  Res.  East  Andover,  N.  H.

Nathan  Bachelder,  July  14,  1845;  began 
attending  the  public  schools  at  five  or 
SIX  years  of  age ;  after  leaving  the  public 
schools  he  attended  Hallowell  academy 
for  two  years.  He  had  a  severe  illness 
in  the  spring  and  summer  of  1863  from 
the  effects  of  which  he  never  wholly  re¬ 
covered.  His  lungs  being  delicate  from 
this  sickness,  he  went  to  Cuba  in  the 
winter  of  ’63  and  ’64  hoping  to  receive 
benefit  from  the  mild  climate.  For  the 
succeeding  three  years  he  followed  the 
sea.  On  July  4,  1867,  he  was  off  Cape 
Horn  in  the  ship  “Fearless,”  commanded 
by  Capt.  John  H.  Drew,  of  Farming- 
dale,  Me.  Reaching  San  Francisco  he 
left  the  ship  on  account  of  having  suf¬ 
fered  severely  from  hemorrhages  and 
remained  in  California  about  a  year. 
Again  returning  home  he  found  himself 
unable  to  bear  the  rigors  of  a  New  En¬ 
gland  winter.  This  time  he  went  to 
Winona,  Minnesota,  where  he  regained 
health  and  strength  in  a  great  measure. 
Remained  in  Winona  till  1S73,  when  ne

years  of  age  went  to  Lisbon,  Conn.,  with  his  parents,  where  he  obtained  his  early

education.  He  afterwards  attended  the  Bryant  &  Stratton  Business  College  at  Hart¬ 
ford,  from  which  he  graduated  in  1864.  He  soon  after  removed  to  Norwich 
and  took  up  his  residence  in  Greeneville,  and  has  since  been  an  adopted  citizen. 
For  several  years  Mr.  Bachelder  was  engaged  in  the  retail  boot  and  shoe 

business  on  Main  street  as  a 
member  of  the  successful  firm  of 
Bidwell  &  Bachelder,  now  known 
as  Bidwell  Bros.  For  some  years 
he  has  been  a  quiet  but  active 
worker  in  politics,  and  since  i88g 
has  been  a  Republican.  In  1887 
he  was  appointed  post  office  in¬ 
spector  by  President  Cleveland 
and  attached  to  the  New  York 
division,  on  which  he  served  un¬ 
til  he  tendered  his  resignation  in 
1890.  While  in  the  service  his 
indefatigable  and  clever  work 
won  him  the  praise  of  the  public 
and  press,  as  many  of  the  cap¬ 
tures  effected  proved  him  to  be 
one  of  the  most  successful  thief 
catchers  in  the  postal  service. 
The  evidence  of  his  skill  was 
significantly  demonstrated  by 
the  fact  that  he  was  detailed  on 
the  most  intricate  cases  and  many 
of  them  out  of  his  district. 

Mr.  Bachelder  is  now  serving 
his  fourth  3'ear  and  second  term 
as  clerk  in  the  office  of  the  select¬ 
men,  in 'which  position  he  is  of 
great  value  to  the  board.  He 
has  also  been  twice  mentioned 
and  once  nominated  for  first  se¬ 
lectman.  Probably  no  man  was 
ever  more  familiar  with  the  work¬ 
ings  of  town  affairs  than  he. 
Outside  of  his  duties  as  clerk  of 
GEORGE  E.  E.\cHF,LDER.  the  Selectmen  he  holds  the  po¬ 

sition  of  business  manager  of  the 
Broadway  theater,  and  is  also  assistant  manager  and  representative  of  the  Equitable 
Life  Assurance  Society  of  the  United  States.  He  is  as  well  a  representative  of  the 
London  Guarantee  Liability  Insurance  Company.  These  companies,  of  which  he 
has  the  agency  in  his  locality,  stand  high,  and  business  placed  with  him  insures 
prompt  payments  of  losses.  Mr.  Bachelder’s  duties  bring  him  into  contact  with  all 
classes  of  people,  and  his  face  is  accordingly  familiar  to  most  residents  of  the  city 
and  town.  He  is  a  Knight  Templar  Mason.  Also  agent  of  the  Security  Mutual

BATCHELDER  GENEALOGY. 


m 


obscure  but  picturesque  part  of  the  obscure  little  town  of  Allenstown,  N.  H.,  in  the 
same  dwelling  house  in  which  for  three  generations  back  his  ancestors  were  born 
and  reared,  on  the  23d  day  of  March,  1861,  there  was  born  James  Cochran,  the  sec¬ 
ond  son  of  John  Pickering  and  Betsey  Brown  Batchelder.  When  he  was  about 
three  years  of  age  his  father  bought  what  was  known  as  the  Clark  estate,  situated 
on  the  main  road  between  Concord  and  Portsmouth,  and  two  miles  from  the  old 
homestead  of  the  Batchelders.  Here,  looking  out  upon  miles  of  delightful  rural 
scenery,  with  his  parents  dwelt  this  young  man  until  his  eighteenth  year.  Eagerly 
pursuing  his  studies  in  the  excellent  school  of  the  district  in  which  he  lived,  and 
these  supplemented  by  the  exacting  tutoring  of  his  uncle,  the  late  George  W.  Ela, 
one  of  the  most  distinguished  scholars  in  New  Hampshire,  he  made  rapid  progress 
in  the  studies  which  were  to  be  of  use  to  him  in  after  life.  Like  most  ambitious 
boys  residing  in  country  places,  he,  in  his  eighteenth  year,  began  to  feel  that  the 
great  world  beyond  the  encircling  hills  of  his  little  town  must  needs  give  him  a 
wider  scope  for  the  professional  career  which  even  long  before  then  his  youthful 
mind  had  pictured.  Others  felt  so  too.  Among  the  foremost  to  extend  a  helping 
hand  was  the  late  Brice  S.  Evans,  of  Boston,  Maiss. ,  a  wealthy  and  munificent 
gentleman,  himself  a  native  of  Allenstown.  Through  his  interestedness  the  young 
man  secured  a  position  in  an  office  in  Lynn,  Mass. ;  here  devoting  his  spare  time  to 
reading  law  in  the  office  of  a  well  known  lawyer,  Nathan  D.  A.  Clarke,  Esq.  He 
met  with  much  encouragement  from  him  to  continue  his  studies.  Mr.  Clarke, 
with  his  clear,  keen  and  anylitical  mind,  coupled  with  his  boundless  enthusiasm  for 
his  profession,  left  the  impress  of  his  teaching  upon  his  pupil.  Later  on  an  oppor¬ 
tunity  presented  itself  for  him  to  attend  the  Boston  University  Law  School,  which 
he  did,  attending  there  three  full  years,  and  upon  graduating  was  admitted  to  the 
Suffolk  bar,  since  which  time  he  has  been  engaged  in  a  general  law  practice  in 
Lynn,  where  he  has  lived  for  sev^enteen  years.  Mr.  Batchelder  has  traveled  exten¬ 
sively,  not  only  in  his  own  country,  but  he  has  visited  the  best  parts  of  Europe  as 
well.  In  1S89  he  visited  the  Pacific  coast,  and  in  1891  and  in  1893  he  visited  Europe. 
He  recalls  his  California  trip  as  being  the  most  satisfactory  trip  he  ever  took, 
because  it  v;as  in  consequence  of  taking  it  that  he  met  the  lady  who  afterwards 
became  his  wife.  The  Unitarian  church  in  Lynn,  of  which  for  many  years  he  has 
been  one  of  the  trusteees,  is  the  church  in  which  his  interest  centers.  In  politics  he 
takes  no  active  part,  never  having  sought  or  held  any  political  office.  Early  in  life 
he  broke  away  from  what  he  considered  the  erroneous  political  belief  of  his  family, 
the  members  of  which  were  all  Democrats,  and  has  ever  since,  with  a  few  excep¬ 
tions,  voted  with  the  Republican  party.  Mr.  Batchelder,  on  January  8,  1S96, 
married  Marion  Hodges,  daughter  of  Captain  William  H.  and  Elizabeth  H.  Jelly,  of 
the  neighboring  city  of  Salem.  Since  that  time  they  have  resided  in  Salem.  l\Irs. 
Batchelder  is  descended  from  one  of  the  old  Salem  families  on  her  mother’s  side, 
being  related  to  the  famous  Choate  family  of  Massachusetts.  Res.  s.  p.  Lynn,

Elizabeth - .  He  was  born  in  England  and  emigrated  to  America  in  1636,  com¬ 

ing  from  Canterbury.  He  came  with  his  wife,  Elizabeth,  one  child  and  three 
servants,  and  brothers  Henry  and  John.  Pie  settled  first  in  Salem  and  later  in 
Wenham.  He  was  made  a  freeman  in  1637,  was  deputy  to  the  General  Court  in 
Boston  in  1644,  being  the  first  representative  from  the  town  of  Wenham.  The 
inventory  of  his  estate  taken  March  31,  1657,  is  on  file  in  the  Salem  probate  office  in 
a  very  mutilated  condition.  Inalist headed  “A  true  roll  or  list  of  names,  surnames, 
and  qualities  of  all  such  persons  who  have  taken  passage  from  the  town  and  port  of 
Sandwich  for  the  American  plantations,  since  the  last  certificate  of  such  passengers 
returned  into  the  office  of  Dover  castle.  Henry  Bachelor  of  Dover,  brewer,  and 
Martha,  his  wife,  4  servants.  Joseph  Bachelor  of  Canterbury,  taylor,  and  Elizabeth, 
his  wife,  I  child,  3  servants.  John  Bachelor,  of  Canterbury,  taylor.”  The  church 
at  Wenham  was  organized  Oct.  8,  1644,  and  Joseph  Batcheller  was  one  of  the  mem¬ 
bers.  His  wife,  Elizabeth,  was  admitted  to  membership  on  the  17th  of  November, 
1644.  His  brother,  John  Bachelor,  from  Canterbury,  Kent  Co.,  came  to  Salem  in 
the  same  vessel  at  the  same  time.  In  the  record  of  a  case  of  church  discipline  in 
the  Wenham  church,  occurs  this:  "In  ye  mesne  space  it  pleased  God  to  take  to 
himself  brother  Batchel.,  a  man  wise,  moderate,  and  very  able  to  be  helpful  in  such 
cases.” — Church  record,  pp.  84.  “He  was  a  prominent  and  useful  man  in  the 
plantation.” — History  of  Wenham,  pp.  28  and  29.  "Goodman  Batcheller  he  was 
often  called.  This  was  a  common  appellation  among  the  men,  about  1640  and 
thereabouts,  excepting  when  they  addressed  their  minister,  magistrate  or  any 
militia  officer  of  higher  grade  than  lieutenant,  to  whom  they  applied  the  title  of 
“Mister.”  “Goodwife”  or  “Goody”  were  the  terms  applied  to  women  excepting 
when  they  addressed  the  wives  of  those  before  mentioned,  whom  they  called 
“Madam.”  and  the  appelation,  Mrs.,  was  placed  before  names  of  both  married  and 
unmarried  women  when  it  was  written.  On  the  inventory  it  is  written  that  he 
died  ten  years  ago,  which  would  make  it  that  he  died  in  1647.  His  son,  ^iark, 
settled  his  estate.  Mark  Batcheller  was  appointed  administrator  of  the  estate  of 
his  father.  Referred  to  Salem  Court  to  take  further  order  thereon,  March,  1657, 
Ipswich  County  Court.  Mark  Batcheller,  who  setled  the  estate  of  his  father  and 
mother  is  to  pay  his  brother  John  ,^15  when  he  shall  accomplish  the  age  of  21  years ; 
to  his  sister  Elizabeth  ,1^15,  when  she  shall  accomplish  the  age  of  18  years  or  marry; 
and  to  his  sister  Hannah  ,^15,  when  she  shall  accomplish  the  age  of  18  years  or 
marry.  Wenham,  Mass.,  where  he  resided,  was  the  last  of  the  seven  towns  in 
Essex  Co.  that  was  set  off  from  Salem,  and  is  situated  about  twenty-two  miles 
northeast  of  Boston.  The  general  surface  of  the  country  is  level,  the  soil  fruitful, 
well  watered  and  productive.  In  olden  times  the  village  of  Wenham  was  recorded 
as  remarkable  for  its  quiet  Arcadian  beauty,  and  its  principal  lake  has  obtained 
celebrity  for  the  purity  of  its  waters.  The  town  was  incorporated  in  1643.  Its 
settlers  and  principal  inhabitants,  like  those  of  most  of  the  older  towns,  were  Puri¬ 
tans,  taken  from  the  great  middle  class  of  Englishmen,  who  have  always  been  the 
backbone  of  the  nation.  Intelligent,  religious,  hardy  and  industrious,  they  were 
undoubtedly  the  best  as  to  character  of  any  emigrants  ever  brought  to  this  country. 
Their  influence  in  shaping  the  destiny  of  the  nation  is  apparent  in  the  high  rank 
Massachusetts  has  always  taken  among  her  sister  states.  He  d.  ^larch,  1647;  res.

6.  i.  MARK,  b.  in  Wenham;  killed  Dec.  19,  1675.  Mark  Batchellor  was 

admitted  freeman  May  27,  1665.  In  1675  King  Philip’s  War 
broke  out  and  continued  for  two  years.  It  was  the  princi¬ 
pal  struggle  made  by  the  Indians  for  their  homes  and  hunt¬ 
ing  grounds.  They  fought  with  the  energy  of  despair,  and 
inflicted  many  a  sev'ere  loss  upon  the  “pale  faced  intruders.” 
About  600  of  the  whites  were  killed  and  many  more  severely 
wounded;  13  towns  and  600  houses  were  destroyed;  and  the  ex¬ 
penses  of  the  war  have  been  estimated  at  $500,000,  an  enormous 
sum  tor  those  days,  considering  the  scarcity  of  money  and  the 
small  number  of  those  upon  whom  the  loss  fell.  But  heavy  as 
were  the  losses  of  the  feeble  colonists,  those  of  the  enemy  were 
still  greater.  They  were  routed  from  their  old  fastnesses  and 
their  power  effectively  broken.  Their  subsequent  struggles  were 
less  for  victory  than  revenge.  No  place  was  safe,  and  at  no  time 
were  the  colonists  free  from  danger.  The  law  of  1676  that  each 
town  should  “scout  and  ward”  and  clear  up  the  brush  along  the 
ways,  “to  prevent  the  skulking  of  the  enemy,”  was  rigorously 
obeyed.  Farmers  carried  their  arms  and  ammunition,  as  well  as 
implements  of  husbandry'to  their  fields  and  some  worked  while 
others  were  posted  as  sentinels  about  the  clearing.  Members  of 
the  church  attended  divine  worship  with  their  guns  and  sentinels 
paced  their  rounds  about  the  little  edifice  while  others  were  listen¬ 
ing  to  the  word.  A  fortification  was  raised  in  every  town  to 
provide  against  an  attack,  and  often  the  whole  population  was 
massed  in  the  stockade,  while  at  other  times  neighbors  were 
massed  in  the  garrison  houses.  In  the  depth  of  winter  a  force  of 
550  men  was  collected  in  Massachusetts,  and,  being  joined  by  re¬ 
inforcements  from  the  Plymouth  and  Connecticut  colonies,  they 
made  a  forced  march  through  the  snows  and  over  the  frozen 
ground  till  they  reached,  Dec.  19,  1675,  a  swamp  in  the  country 
of  the  Narragansetts  where  the  Indians  had  built  a  fort  and  gath¬ 
ered  their  bravest  warriors.  Notwithstanding  that  they  had 
camped  out  the  previous  night  “with  no  other  covering  than  a 
cold  and  moist  fleece  of  snow,”  and  had  marched  19  miles  that 
day,  wading  through  the  drifts,  the  troops  rushed  at  once  to  the 
attack.  The  Indians  retreated  to  the  middle  of  the  swamps,  where 
they  had  fortified  an  island,  covering  five  or  six  acres  with 
palisades  and  a  hedge  nearly  a  rod  thick.  “There  were  two  en¬ 
trances,  one  over  a  long  tree  upon  a  place  of  water,  the  other  at  a 
corner,”  and  commanded  by  a  log  house  in  front,  and  on  the  left 
by  “a  flanker.”  At  this  point  an  attack  was  made  by  the  Massa¬ 
chusetts  troops,  led  by  Capt.  Johnson,  who  unfortunately  fell  at  the 
first  fire,  with  Mark  Batcheller.  So  many  of  the  soldiers  were 
killed  or  wounded  that  they  were  obliged  to  retreat.  Again,  how¬ 
ever,  they  were  rallied  by  their  valiant  leaders ;  again  they  rushed 
to  the  charge,  carrying  block  house  and  flanker  and  fairly  estab¬ 
lishing  themselves  upon  the  island.  The  Indians  then  retreated  to 
the  middle  of  the  fort,  and  the  whole  mass  was  quickly  engaged 
in  desperate  and  deadly  struggle.  The  strife  was  long  and  bloody, 
for  the  savages  outnumbered  the  whites  more  than  three  to  one, 
but  “manifest  destiny”  was  against  them.  They  were  routed, 
their  wigwams  burned  and  their  corn  and  other  stores  destroyed 
by  the  flames.  Three  hundred  warriors  are  said  to  have  been 
slain,  while  as  many  more  were  taken  prisoners.  But  this  suc¬ 
cess  was  not  purchased  without  severe  loss  to  the  Massachusetts 
troops,  for  more  than  100  were  killed  or  wounded.  Mark  Batch- 
elder,  who  was  killed,  was  one  of  the  oldest  and  most  respectable 
citizens  of  Wenham.  He  belonged  to  the  company  commanded 
by  Capt.  Joseph  Gardiner,  who  was  killed  at  the  same  time  as 
Mark  “Bachelor.”  The  inventory  of  his  estate  is  on  file  in  the 
Essex  probate  office  at  Salem,  dated  March  28,  1678.  On  the  back 
of  the  inventory  is  a  deed  from  executors  of  Samuel  Porter.

BATCHELLER  GENEALOGY. 


Henry  Bachelor,  a  brewer,  from  Dover,  Co.  Kent,  came  over  in  1636,  with  wife, 
Martha  and  four  servants  and  settled  at  Ipswich.  Died  Feb.  2,  1679,  and  his  wife 
died  April  4,  16S6.  It  is  known  that  he  did  not  leave  any  children.  In  his  will  he 
makes  mention  of  the  children  of  his  brother  John.  His  brother  Joseph  and  family 
came  over  with  him  in  1636.  He  calls  Joseph  his  youngest  brother. 

The  following  data  relating  to  him  is  taken  from  the  Ipswich  town  records: 

1639.  “Granted  to  Mr.  Batcheler  sixty  acres  of  upland  and  twenty  of  meadow 
near  Hurttlebury  hill"  joining  upon  the  land  betwixt  Ipswich  and  Rowley  upon  his 
relinquishing  of  50  acres,  formerly  granted  to  him  in  the  West  Meadows  and  upon 
his  staying  in  the  town  years,  to  be  laid  out  by  John  Perkins,  Senr.,  Jo;  Tuttle  and 
John  Gage.” 

“1639,  "th  i2th.  Granted  at  a  general  meeting  to  Edward  Browne  thirty  acres 
of  upland,  adjoining  to  Rowley  line  and  the  southeast  end  of  Mr.  Bachelour’s  farm, 
to  be  laid  out  by  Mr.  Tuttle,  Mr.  Wilson  and  the  lot-layers.” 

“In  an  agreement  about  the  number  of  cows  for  each  bull”  [upon  the  commons] 
“Bacheler”  is  with  42  other  names. 

1641.  Henry  Bachellor  is  on  the  list  “of  such  as  are  comoners.”

October,  1643.. 
‘  ‘Henry  Bacheller’  ’ 
was  “of  such  as 
have  forfeited,  for 
not  returning  their 
Powder  according  to  ann  order  of  the 
Town.” 

1047.  Edward  Browne  is  allowed  to  ex¬ 
change  his  land  “near  Henry  Batcheldours” 
to  join  Joseph  Metcalf. 

14  Feb.,  1664.  “Henry  Bachelor”  had 
share  No.  13  in  the  division  of  Plum-Island, 
Castle-Neck,  and  Hog  [now  Choote,  Rufus 
Choate  b.  there]  Island. 

On  “a  list  of  those  that  have  right  of 
commonage  according  to  law  and  order  in  this  town,”  “Henry  Bachelors  farme” 
is  found. 

It  appears  by  the  General  Court  records  and  the  County  Court  records  that  he 
was  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  aud  that  he  and  his  wife  were  often  arraigned  be¬ 
cause  they  did  not  attend  the  usual  public  meetings. 

March,  1654.  “Henry  Batcheller,  upon  his  presentment,  is  discharged  and  his 
wife  had  a  legal  admonition  and  is  discharged,  paying  their  fees  and  charges  of  the 
witnesses.” 

September,  1660.  “Henry  Batcheller  for  his  absence  from  the  publique  meet¬ 
ings  on  the  Lord’s  Day  is  fined  for  20  days,  and  fees  of  court.”  See  also  May, 
1660. 

Subsequently  the  town  of  Ipswich  were  empowered  to  take  their  lands  from 
them  and  place  in  trust,  because  they  did  not  attend  the  publique  worship.  The 
property  was  placed  in  the  hands  of  Nathaniel  Treadwell  and  John  Warner.  These 
two  persons,  with  his  brother  Joseph’s  son  John,  settled  the  estate.  His  inventory 
is  dated  Feb.  6,  1678. 

July,  1679,  a  list  of  debts  due  the  estate  of  Henry  Batchelder,  of  Salem,  was 
presented  to  the  Pro’oate  Court.  In  the  list  was  John  Batchelder  ^^42  —2 — 3.  The 
document  mentions  his  brother  John.  The  inventory  of  his  estate  was  returned 
to  the  Essex  Co.  Probate  Court  Sept.  30,  1679.  See  Vol.  305,  p.  173.

Henry’s  farm  covered  300  or  500  acres.  The  ground  is  from  Bullbrook  to  “the 
old  gate.”  I  do  not  know  the  width,  except  near  the  west  end — “the  old  gate.” 
The  old  cellar  where  his  house  stood  is  hardly  more  than  a  hole  like  a  cup  grassed 
over  with  an  apple  tree  of  considerable  size  in  it.  The  old  cellar  is  3  miles  out  from 
Ipswich  Center  and  the  spot  is  well  overgrown  with  small  wood.  He  d.  in  Ipswich,

Salem  1628.  William,  brother  of  John,  came  over  with  Endicott 
in  1628,  and  settled  at  Salem;  married  Elizabeth  Patch,  of 
Petherton,  Eng.  Both  brothers  had  quite  a  no.  of  children. 
Some  of  both  families  were  born  and  baptized  in  England;  it  is 
thought  all  the  Woodburys  in  this  country  sprang  from  these 
brothers.  In  1630  both  families  moved  to  Beverly.  Wm.  settled 
on  the  seashore  at  what  is  now  called  Woodbury  Point,  built  a

garrison  house  which  stood  until  50  years  ago.  John  Conant  sur¬ 
veyed  1,000  acres  at  the  head  of  Bass  river.  The  General  Court 
gave  him  a  grant  of  200  acres  from  this  tract  on  which  he  settled. 
In  the  history  of  Beverly  it  is  stated  that  John  was  a  member  of 
the  General  Court  in  1635,  and  again  in  1638.  It  is  stated  that  he 
died  in  1641.  His  age  is  not  given,  but  probably  about  85  years. 
He  was  called  “Father  Woodbury,”  a  title  it  is  thought  might 
have  been  given  him  as  one  on  whom  many  leaned  for  counsel 
and  advice.  He  was  regarded  as  standing  next  to  Conant  in  in¬ 
telligence  and  usefulness  to  the  colony.  His  descendants  are 
numerous,  and  many  still  live  around  the  spot  that  witnessed  his 
trials.  Peter  Woodbury  was  a  deacon  in  the  Salem  church  at  the 
time  of  the  Witchcraft  delusion,  and  it  is  related  of  him  that  he 
kept  his  horses  saddled  to  assist  the  persecuted  to  fly  to  N.  H.

over  70  years  of  age,  and  their  great  grandson  was  Gov.  Levi 
Woodbury,  of  New  Hampshire,  who  was  born  at  Francistown, 
N.  H.,  Dec.  22,  1789,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  New  Hamp¬ 
shire  in  1812.  He  became  a  leader  of  the  Democratic  party  of  his 
State,  was  appointed  to  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  State  in  1816, 
elected  governor  in  1823;  speaker  of  the  state  house  of  represen¬ 
tatives  in  1825,  and  served  in  the  United  States  Senate,  1825  to 
^  1831.  He  was  Secretary  of  the  Navy  in  1831,  and  Secretary  of  the 

Treasury  from  1834  to  1841.  Again  elected  to  the  United  States 
Senate  in  1841,  he  served  until  1845,  when  he  was  appointed  an 
Associate  Justice  of  the  United  States  Supreme  Court.  He  d.  at

John  Batcheller  was  one  of  the  jury  that  tried  the  famous  witchcraft  cases  in 
Salem.  With  the  other  members  of  the  Jury,  in  1692  he  signed  a  statement  asking 
forgiveness  for  the  error  of  their  judgment.  The  Jury  had  acted  in  conformity  with 
their  obligations  and  honest  convictions  of  duty  in  bringing  in  their  verdicts.  They 
had  sworn  to  decide  according  to  the  law  and  the  evidence.  The  law  under  which 
they  were  required  to  act  was  laid  down  with  absolute  positiveness  by  the  Court. 
They  were  bound  to  receive  it,  and  to  take  and  weigh  the  evidence  that  was  admit¬ 
ted,  and  to  their  minds  it  was  clear,  decisive,  and  overwhelming,  offered  by  the 
persons  of  good  character,  and  confirmed  by  a  great  number  of  confessions.  If  it 
had  been  within  their  province,  as  it  always  is  declared  not  to  be,  to  discuss  the  gen¬ 
eral  principles,  and  set  in  judgment  on  the  particular  penalties  of  law,  it  would  not 
have  altered  the  case,  for,  at  that  time,  not  only  the  common  people,  but  the  wisest 
philosophers,  supported  the  interpretation  of  the  law  that  acknowledged  the  exis-

tence  of  witchcraft,  and  its  sanction  that  visited  it  with  death.  Notwithstanding 
all  this,  however,  so  tender  and  sensitive  were  the  consciences  of  the  jurors  that  they 
signed  and  circulated  the  following  humble  and  solemn  declaration  of  regret  for  the 
part  they  had  borne  in  the  trials.  As  the  publication  of  this  paper  was  highly 
honorable  to  those  who  signed  it, and  cannot  but  be  contemplated  with  satisfaction 
by  all  their  descendants,  I  will  repeat  their  names:  “We  whose  names  are  under¬ 
written,  being  in  the  year  1692  called  to  serve  as  jurors  in  court  at  Salem,  on  trial 
of  many  who  were  by  some  suspected  guilty  of  doing  acts  of  witchcraft  upon  the 
bodies  of  sundry  persons,  we  confess  that  we  ourselves  were  not  capable  to  under¬ 
stand,  nor  able  to  withstand,  the  mysterious  delusions  of  the  powers  of  darkness 
and  Prince  of  the  air,  but  were,  for  want  of  knowledge  in  ourselves  and  better 
information  from  others,  prevailed  with  to  take  with  such  evidence  against  the 
accused,  as,  on  further  consideration  and  better  information,  we  justly  fear  was 
insufficient  for  the  touching  the  lives  of  any  (Deut.  xvii)  whereby  we  fear  we  have 
been  instrumental,  with  others,  though  ignorantly  and  unwittingly,  to  bring  upon 
ourselves  and  this  people  of  the  Lord  the  guilt  of  innocent  blood ;  which  sin  the 
Lord  saith  in  Scripture  he  would  not  pardon  (2  Kings  xxiv.  4) — that  is,  we  suppose, 
in  regard  to  his  temporal  judgments.  We  do  therefore  hereby  signify  to  all  in  gen¬ 
eral,  and  to  the  surviving  sufferers  in  special,  our  deep  sense  of,  and  sorrow  for,  our 
errors  in  acting  on  such  evidence  to  the  condemning  of  any  person ;  and  do  hereby 
declare,  that  we  justly  fear  that  we  were  sadly  deluded  and  mistaken — for  which  we 
are  much  disquieted  and  distressed  in  our  minds,  and  do  therefore  humbly  beg 
forgiveness,  first  of  God,  for  Christ’s  sake,  for  this  our  error,  and  pray  that  God 
would  impute  the  guilt  of  it  to  ourselves  nor  others,  and  we  also  pray  that  we  may 
be  considered  candidly  and  aright  by  the  living  sufferers,  as  being  then  under  a  strong 
and  general  delusion,  utterly  unacquainted  with,  and  not  experienced  in,  matters  of 
that  nature. 

“We  do  hereby  ask  forgiveness  of  you  all,  whom  we  have  justly  offended,  and 
do  declare,  according  to  our  present  minds,  we  would  none  of  us  do  such  things 
again,  on  such  grounds,  for  the  whole  world — praying  you  to  accept  of  this  in  way 
of  satisfacton  for  our  offense,  and  that  you  would  bless  the  inheritance  of  the  Lord, 
that  he  may  be  entreated  for  the  land.

this  return:  “I  have  warned  said  Margaret  Poland,  widow,  to  depart  and  leave  the 
town,  and  Samuel  Patch,  that  he  do  not  entertain  her.  Feb.  25,  1714,  E.  Batch-

ous  town  offices.  For  some  years  he  was  town  clerk,  from  1744  to  1748.  With  him 
began  the  change  in  the  orthography  of  the  surname.  It  had  been  Batcheller,  but 
afterwards  it  became  Batchellor,  the  e  in  the  last  syllable  becoming  o,  by  the  pecul¬ 
iar  way  in  which  David  wrote  his  name. 

June  17,  1714,  he  conveyed  a  certain  parcell  of  land  in  Wenham  to  William 
Rogers,  of  Wenham,  for  thifty-seven  shillings.  His  father  left  him  by  will  eighteen 
acres  of  upland  and  meadow,  to  be  laid  out  of  parcell  of  land  which  his  uncle  Mark 
owned  and  lived  upon  until  the  time  of  his  death,  reserving  one  acre  and  house  to 
Ebenezer.

Swamp  in  1666.  His  minister’s  rate  was  £1 — 6 — 4.  In  1686  he  was  taxed  to  assist 
in  paying  for  land  purchased  of  the  Indians.  He  was  one  of  the  largest  subscribers 
to  the  fund  for  building  a  new  meeting  house  in  1688.  Only  three  others  subscribed 
a  larger  sum.  He  was  selectman  1676 — 1702,  town  clerk,  1694  to  1697. 

Oct.  5,  1675,  he  served  in  the  company  commanded  by  Lieut.  William  Hasey  in 
the  Third  County  Troop,  and  on  the  above  date  was  credited  with  i8s  6d  for  ser¬ 
vice  (see  Bodge’s  Soldiers  in  King  Philip’s  War,  p.  276  and  Colonial  Society  Year 
Book  for  1896,  p.  282).  Edward  Hutchinson  was  captain  of  this  company  and  Jona¬ 
than  Poole  was  cornet.  In  the  military  records  the  name  is  spelled  Batchelor  and 
Bachelor.  His  heirs  were  granted  land  in  the  division  of  Narraganset  No.  2,  now 
Westminster,  Mass.  At  this  time,  Oct.  17,  1733,  John  was  credited  to  Malden,  and 
the  claimant  of  the  land  was  Wm.  Willis,  “for  the  heirs.’’

May  28,  1815.  The  following  is  extracted  from  Stone’s  History  of 
Beverly,  Mass. : 

“Col.  Henry  Herrick  was  a  member  of  the  committee  of  Corre¬ 
spondence  for  the  town  of  Boston  in  1773,  and  was  very  active  in 
the  operations  inaugurating  the  Revolution.  He  held  the  rank 
of  Colonel.  He  was  an  active  agent  in  all  the  Revolutionary 
movements,  and  for  many  years  (24)  represented  the  town  in 
General  Court.  He  frequently  presided  at  the  numerous  town 
meetings  held  to  consider  the  public  concerns,  at  a  time  when  it 
required  a  good  degree  of  moral  courage  for  any  one  to  appear 
conspicuously  in  acts  and  measures  of  doubtful  result,  and  in 
event  of  failure  placing  him  in  the  position  of  a  rebel  against  the 
King  and  government  of  Great  Britain.  His  house  stood  on  the 
site  of  the  present  residence  of  Ebenezer  Meacom.’’

From  record  of  Col.  Jonathan  Wheeler,  see  Pierce’s  Hist,  of  Grafton,  p.  72. — 
“May  27,  1780,  there  was  snow  on  Mr.  Joseph  Batchelor’s  ground  four  feet  deep 
and  the  8th  day  of  May  there  was  a  good  deal  of  snow  to  be  seen  on  the  said  ground 
and  did  not  go  off  for  some  days  after.  I  believe  that  the  oldest  person  in  New 
England  never  saw  so  much  snow  on  the  ground  at  once  in  New  England  as  there 
has  been  this  winter,  for  many  places  lay  covered  with  snow  above  five  months  and 
many  foot  deep  a  great  part  of  the  time.  A  very  severe  winter  indeed.’’ 

Joseph  Bachelor,  of  Grafton,  was  one  of  the  Alarm  soldiers  who  remained  in 
the  town  on  duty  or  who  could  be  called  together  in  case  of  necessity  by  Rev.  Aaron 
Hutchinson,  during  the  French  and  Indian  war  in  1757.  He  was  elected  deacon  of 
the  First  Congregational  Church  April  4,  1765.  He  was  one  of  the  prominent 
citizens  pf  the  town,  was  deacon  of  the  church,  and  often  held  town  offices.  In 
1774-5  and  in  1779  he  was  a  member  of  the  Provincial  Congress.  In  a  work  on 
physicians  in  the  Continental  Congress  is  given  the  name  of  “Dr.  Joseph  Batchelder, 
of  Grafton,  Mass.”  I  think  it  is  a  mistake  and  should  be  Dea.  Joseph.  In  my 
History  of  Grafton  I  do  not  find  any  such  person:  very  often  Dea.  Joseph  is 
referred  to.

Mass.,  June  5,  1722:  m.  May  15,  1751,  Sarah  Newton;  b.  Westboro.  Capt.  Abraham 
was  born  on  the  old  homestead  in  Wenham,  Mass.  He  removed  to  Westboro,  was 
married  and  then  moved  to  Sutton  soon  after  the  time  of  his  marriage  and  pur¬ 
chased  1,000  acres  of  land  at  one  shilling  per  acre.  He  was  a  cooper  by  trade. 
Their  eight  children  grew  up  in  that  town  and  the  sons  received  an  equal  share  in 
the  estate  at  their  majority.  Capt.  Abraham  was  a  man  of  not  only  indomitable- 
courage  and  perseverance,  but  very  eccentric.  It  is  related  of  him  instead  of  cut¬ 
ting  out  the  uhderbrush  to  give  himself  a  clear  track  to  any  part  of  the  large  tract 
which  he  desired  to  visit,  he  was  accustomed  to  start  his  three  yoke  of  oxen  on  a 
“bee  line’’  for  the  desired  locality  and  crush  through  all  obstructions.  His  children 
received  a  cup  of  tea  once  a  week  only,  and  that  upon  Sunday  morning.

In  later  years  he  erected  the  house  in  which  he  died  and  of  which  an  illustration 
is  given  as  it  appears,  in  the  History  of  Sutton.  Tnis  volume  refers  to  the 
Batchellers  as  “a  race  of  large  strong  men  and  were  good  citizens.”  He  is  referred 
to  in  the  records  as  Capt.  Abraham.  In  1763  he  was  selectman  as  ‘‘Abraham 
Batcheller,”  in  1764  he  held  the  same  office  and  was  called  ‘‘Ensign  Abraham,”  as 
he  was  in  1765  and  [766.  In  the  year  1773  as  a  member  of  the  selectmen  he  was 
called  ‘‘Lieut.  Abraham,”  and  the  same  in  1782.

His  life  the  true  religion  did  adorne, 

His  death  caus’d  many  aching  hearts  to  mourn; 

Not  children  only  and  grand  children  dear, 

But  neighbors  too  could  not  withhold  a  tear — 

To  who  obliging  conduct,  they  confess. 

They  owe  no  small  degree  of  happiness. 

Steadfast  in  faith,  he  ran  that  Christian  race. 

Still  waiting  for  the  rich  rewards  of  grace. 

Of  which  the  soul  partakes  above  the  skies. 

Until  the  dust  to  eternal  glory  rise.

fight.  She  heard  the  alarm  bell  ringing  in  the  steeple  of  the

$10,000,000.  It  was  among  the  earliest  associations  under  the 
General  Banking  Act  passed  in  April  of  that  year.  Its  first  board 
of  directors  was  composed  of  John  Q.  Wilson,  who  was  elected

directors,  and  Ichabod  L.  Judson  and  Gaylor  Sheldon  were

Sally - •,  who  d.  in  Royalston,  April  15,  1814.  The 


following  notice  of  Dr.  Batcheller  is  from  “The  Boston  Medical  and  Surgical  Jour¬ 
nal:” 

Dr.  Stephen  Bacheller,  Sen.,  was  born  at  Grafton,  Mass.,  and  commenced  the 
practice  of  his  profession  in  Royalston  in  the  early  settlement  of  the  town  in  fact 
when  it  was  almost  an  entire  wilderness.  He  was  the  first  physician  of  the  town, 
and  there  he  continued  to  practice  till  his  decease.  He  suffered  much  from  the 
want  of  roads,  and  the  condition  of  such  as  existed.  He  was  obliged  to  travel  by 
marked  trees  in  that  and  the  neighboring  towns,  often  by  night,  and  frequently  fol¬ 
lowed  by  bears  and  wolves;  and  to  ford  streams  at  the  peril  of  his  life.  Add  to  this 
the  roughness  of  the  country  in  the  northwestern  section  of  Worcester  county,  and 
some  idea  may  be  formed  of  the  perils  and  dangers  he  had  to  endure  in  the  dis¬ 
charge  of  his  professional  duties.  Yet  he  never  refused  to  respond  to  the  calls  of 
his  lot,  whatever  the  raging  of  the  storm,  the  darkness  of  the  night,  the  dangers  of 
the  way,  or  the  poverty  of  the  patients.  His  ride  was  very  extensive.  He  was 
remarkable  for  his  kindness  and  attention  to  the  poor,  never  compelling  payment 
from  them  for  medical  services.  Early  in  life  he  made  a  profession  of  religion  by 
joining  the  Congregational  church  in  Royalston. 

The  history  of  Royalston,  published  in  1865,  has  this  of  him: 

In  1768  the  first  physician.  Stephen  Batcheller  established  himself  here.  Down 
to  the  time  of  his  death  in  1829,  at  the  age  of  eighty-three,  he  remained  here,  and 
illustrated  ,the  highest  style  of  fidelity  to  a  life  of  professional  honor  and  duty. 
Some  of  you  can  remember  him  as  he  rode  over  these  paths  in  the  saddle,  generally 
without  a  girth  for  greater  safety  in  the  accidents  of  uncertain  bridges  and  byways, 
with  those  traditional  bags,  which  were  so  long  recognized  as  the  insia:nia  of  his 
profession.  He  deserves  to  be  cherished  in  the  combined  associations  of  a  length¬ 
ened  and  honored  citizenship  and  of  those  solemn  and  tender  services  which  in 
nearly  a  half  century  of  practice  received  the  gratitude  of  the  living  and  took  no 
reproach  from  the  memorials  of  the  dead. 

He  taught  school  in  Royalston  in  1772,  boarded  himself  and  was  granted  the 
munificent  sum  of  $5.71  a  month.  He  held^various  town  offices  of  honor  and  trust.

Reuben  Walker.  The  Dr.  and  his  wife  spent  their  last  years 
there;  and  Asa  Bacheller  and  his  wife  died  upon  the  place,  which 
is  now  owned  by  Franklin  H..  son  of  Ashbel  Goddard.  About 
1810,  Wm.  Clement,  with  a  part  of  his  family,  removed  to  Croy¬ 
don,  N.  H.,  where  he  d.  aged  85.  He  was  a  soldier  of  the  Revolu¬ 
tion,  and  in  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill.  His  son  William  returned 
to  his  nati'm  town  and  lived  with  his  second  wife,  the  widow  of 
the  second  Dr.  Bacheller,  on  the  place  next  west  of  Franklin  H. 
Goddard’s.  His  son  Wm.  W.  Clement  was  representative  to  the 
next  general  court  in  1865  and  was  the  proprietor  of  the  Major 
Norton  place,  the  last  betore  reaching  the  common.  Asa  Bachel-

b.  1744;  d.  Oct.  15,  1815.  He  was  born  in  Grafton;  educated  at  the  district  school; 
was  married  in  Upton  and  settled  in  Sutton.  He  was  for  a  short  time  pastor  of  the 
First  Baptist  church  in  that  town.  Later  his  followers  met  at  his  residence  and 
held  public  worship  prior  to  his  organizing  the  Second  Baptist  church  in  that  place. 
This  was,  however,  done  Oct.  g.  1792.  and  often  of  a  Sunday  afternoon  as  many  as 
20  persons  would  remain  at  his  home  and  partake  of  the  temporal  things  after 
religious  worship.  The  elder  was  the  moving  spirit  in  the  new  organization  and 
gave  the  land  for  the  new  house  of  worship,  which  was  soon  erected.  With  his 
sons  they  were  foremost  in  the  work.  He  continued  to  be  the  pastor  and  preach 
until  April,  1816  (with  the  exception  of  one  year),  when,  on  account  of  old  age,  he 
was  released,  though  he  often  supplied  the  pulpit  until  his  death.  He  d.  Oct.  29,

man  of  superior  talents  and  attainments.”  He  owned  his  father’s  homestead  and 
also  the  Cordis  farm,  both  of  which  were  purchased  by  his  father  of  Timothy 
Nichols.  In  1777  Rev.  Samuel  Batchelder  disposed  of  the  homestead  to  Nathan 
Appleton  and  Oliver  Wendall,  of  Boston,  both  men  of  wealth,  who  purchased  it,  it 
is  said,  as  a  place  of  safety  and  resort  in  case  Boston  should  be  destroyed  by  the 
British  during  the  Revolutionary  War.  They  sold  the  property  to  Thomas  Evans 
in  1784  for  $2,000.  He  d.  intestate.  The  inventory  of  his  estate  was  filed  May  18, 
1797;  his  son  John  was  administrator  of  the  estate.  He  d.  in  Royalston,  March  19,

a  disease,  for  he  was  granted  an  invalid’s  pension  April  20,  1796.  At  that  time  he 
was  residing  in  Hillsboro  county,  N.  H.  Soon  after  the  war  he  moved  to  Wilton, 
N.  H.,  where  he  resided  for  several  years.  The  history  of  Wilton  says  he  was 
sergeant  in  Capt.  Gross’  company  and  that  he  was  wounded  at  the  battle  of  Ben¬ 
nington  Aug.  16,  1777.  He  was  a  selectman  in  Wilton  in  1779  removed  to 
Milford  prior  to  1795.  He  died  in  Marietta,  Ohio.  Res.  Milton  and  Milford,  N.  H.,

by  Lieut.  John  Adams  in  Col.  Samuel  Johnson’s  regiment.  Which  marched  on  the 
alarm  April  19,  1775,  to  Cambridge.  That  service,  however,  was  for  only  three  and 
one-half  days.  Later  he  was  in  Capt.  Philip  Putnam’s  company  in  Col.  Moses

Cutter  hewed  his  education  with  the  axe.  He  had  no  other  advan¬ 
tages  than  the  town  then  afforded,  but  was  a  good  arithmetician 
and  possessed  a  wonderfully  acute  faculty  for  investigation.  He 
was  very  industrious  in  his  habits  and  decided  in  his  opinions, 
and  open  in  asserting  his  convictions.  He  gave  his  chil¬ 
dren  a  good  education  and  bringing  up.  He  was  a  successful 
farmer  for  that  period,  and  a  large  wool  grower.  Determination 
was  a  marked  characteristic  of  his  mind.  He  had  a  strong  desire 
to  have  things  right,  and  was  scrupulously  just  in  his  dealings 
with  others.  Ch. :  i.  Calvin,  b.  May  i,  1807;  m.  Caroline  Hall

Harvard,  and  received  his  degree  of  M.  D.  in  1831.  For  some  years 
he  practiced  at  Rochester  and  Nashua,  N.  H.  He  was  the  author 
of  Cutter’s  “Physiology,”  a  text-book  in  the  public  schools  which 
has  been  translated  in  many  languages.  In  1857  he  took  a  promi¬ 
nent  part  in  the  border  war  in  Kansas,  and  at  the  breaking  out  of 
the  war  was  mustered  as  surgeon  of  the  Twenty-first  Massachu¬

in  Mass,  or  N.  H.  Feb.  25,  1765;  ra.  Unity,  N.  H.,  Jan.  25,  1785,  Phebe  Chase, 
dau.  of  Amos  (Francis,  Samuel,  Moses,  Arquilla),  b.  Feb.  28,  1767,  in  Middlesex 
Co.,  Mass.;  d.  Oct.  ig,  1858,  in  Corinth,  Vt.  He  was  born  probably  in  Mass,  or 
N.  H.  and  removed  to  Vermont.  At  the  time  of  his  marriage  he  was  of  Litchfield, 
N.  H.  He  was  the  first  ordained  minister  in  Orange  county,  Vt.  His  denomination 
was  Free  Will  Baptist.  He  established  two  churches  near  Corinth,  Vt.,  one  at  the 
Hollow  and  the  other  at  the  meadow,  some  five  miles  apart.  He  went  west  on 
a  visit  to  his  oldest  daughter,  Mrs.  Lena  Ladd.  Her  husband  had  come  west  only 
a  short  time  before  and  entered  a  quarter  section  of  land  from  the  government  about 
fifty  miles  from  Cincinnati,  Ohio.  He  at  once  began  holding  revival  meetings  and 
had  aroused  considerable  interest  when  he  was  suddenly  taken  ill  and  died.  It  was 
some  time  after  before  his  daughter  learned  of  his  demise. 

The  “Free  Baptist  Cyclopaedia”  says: 

Rev.  Daniel  Batchelder  was  converted  at  Corinth,  Vt.,  under  the  preaching  of 
Jeremiah  Ballard  in  1798.  He  was  one  of  the  fifteen  original  members  of  the  Corinth 
church,  the  second  church  to  be  organized  in  Vermont.  He  passed  a  satisfactory 
examination  at  the  New  Hampshire  Y.  M.  in  1799,  and  was  ordained  by  Tingley, 
Young  and  Ballard,  and  perhaps  Daniel  Lord  and  Aaron  Buzzell,  at  Corinth,  Oct.  4. 
He  was  the  first  minister  ordained  by  us  in  Vermont.  He  served  the  Corinth  church 
as  pastor  for  twenty  years.  He  assisted  Nathaniel  Brown  in  a  revival  at  Tun¬ 
bridge,  which  resulted  in  the  formation  of  a  church,  in  1800.  Nathaniel  King  was 
one  of  the  converts.  The  date  of  his  death  is  thought  to  have  been  in  1833.

Capt.  Caleb  Dodge;  b.  Feb.  18,  1744;  d.  April  7,  1797.  An  incident  in  her  life  is 
related  by  Mr.  Stone  in  his  “History  of  Beverly,”  as  follows: 

The  consternation  felt  by  the  more  timid  portion  of  Beverly’s  female  popula¬ 
tion,  in  prospect  of  being  left  defenseless  while  the  men  were  in  the  Revolutionary 
War.  was  great.  A  large  number,  having  by  mutual  instinct  collected  together, 
their  condition  was  freely  discussed.  “Our  husbands  and  sons  are  gone,”  they  de- 
spondingly  said,  “and  none  are  left  to  protect  us.  If  the  regulars  come  during  their 
absence,  what  will  become  of  us,  what  shall  we  do.”  “Do!”  exclaimed  Mrs.  Hannah 
Batchelder,  a  fair  representative  of  many  hearts  bold  and  determined  as  her  own. 
“Do!  Who  cares  for  the  regulars?  Let  them  come,  and  if  they  do  not  behave 
themselves,  we’ll  take  our  brooms  and  drive  them  out  of  town.” — [History  Beverly.] 

He  early  began  a  nautical  life,  and  by  energy  of  character  soon  rose  to  the  com¬ 
mand  of  a  vessel.  In  1761,  on  his  passage  from  Georgia  to  St.  Christopher,  with  a 
cargo  of  lumber,  he  was  taken  by  a  French  privateer,  and  after  being  detained 
twenty-four  hours  succeeded  in  obtaining  release  of  his  vessel  for  two  thousand  three 
hundred  pieces  of  eight.  For  the  payment  of  this  sum  he  was  retained  a  hostage 
on  board  the  privateer,  while  his  vessel,  under  the  charge  of  the  first  officer,  was 
despatched  to  St.  Eustatia  or  St.  Christopher  for  the  money.  In  the  meantime  he 
was  carried  into  Martinico  and  thrust  into  a  filthy  prison,  from  which  he  obtained 
release  and  proceeded  to  St.  Christopher,  where  he  entered  a  protest  against  the 
whole  proceedings. 

Capt.  Batchelder  was  a  warm,  devoted  and  energetic  friend  to  the  cause  of  free-

dom,  to  promote  which  he  made  large  pecuniary  sacrifices.  His  fellow  citizens 
honored  him  with  their  confidence  by  electing  him  six  times  to  represent  their  inter¬ 
ests  in  the  General  Court.  He  was  also  elected  a  member  of  the  committee  on  cor¬ 
respondence  and  a  member  of  the  Provincial  Congress  in  1775  and  again  in  1776-7 
and  9,  and  in  each  assembly  was  placed  on  the  most  important  committees.  His 
extensive  business  and  public  station  made  for  him  a  large  acquaintance  at  home 
and  abroad,  and  his  numerous  guests  were  entertained  with  a  generous  hospitality. 
For  many  years  he  discharged  with  great  acceptance,  the  duties  of  a  justice  of  the 
peace,  and,  when  by  act  of  Congress,  Salem  and  Beverly  were  formed  into  one  dis¬ 
trict,  he  received  the  appoinment  of  surveyor  and  inspector,  which  office  he  held 
until  his  decease.  He  was  thirty-five  5mars  a  member  of  the  First  church  and  de¬ 
parted  this  life  highly  respected.

In  the  name  of  God,  Amen,  I  Josiah  Batchelder  of  Beverly  in  the  county  of 
Essex,  and  commonwealth  of  Mass.  esq.  do  make  this  my  last  will  and  testament, 
as  followeth  to  wit: 

Principally  and  first  of  all,  I  give  and  recommend  my  immortal  soul  to  God  who 
gave  it,  and  my  body  to  the  earth,  out  of  which  it  was  originally  taken,  to  be  de¬ 
cently  buried  at  the  discretion  of  my  executors  herein  after  named.  And  I  dispose 
of  my  wourldly  estate  in  the  following  manner,  to  wit:  I  will  and  order  that  all  my 
just  debts  and  funeral  charges  shall  be  paid  out  of  my  personal  estate,  exclusive  of 
the  legacies  herein  after  given  away,  and  if  it  should  not  be  sufficient  for  that  pur¬ 
pose,  so  much  of  my  real  estate  shall  be  sold,  at  the  discreation  of  my  said  executor,

belongs  to  the  Dodge  farm,  which  together  with  one  half  the  farm  that  falls  to  her 
by  the  last  will  of  her  great  grandfather  Dodge,  considering  the  sums  I  advanced  to 
her  father  in  his  lifetime,  will  be  as  much,  as  I  ought,  in  justice  to  give  her. 

I  give  to  my  son  Josiah  Batchelder  Jf.  all  the  debts,  that  may  be  due  from  him

on  or  belong  to  the  Dodge  farm  at  the  time  of  my  decease,  excepting  what  is  herein 
otherwise  disposed  of.  I  also  give  to  my  son  Josiah  all  my  wearing  apparel.  I  also

with  all  the  buildings  and  all  appurtinances  thereunto  belonging  containing  a  hun¬ 
dred  and  ten  to  a  hundred  twenty  acres,  with  all  the  farming  utensils  and  all  the 
outdoor  and  indoor  moveables,  and  all  the  live-stock  belonging  to  the  same,  or  that 
may  be  found  on  the  same  that  will  be  my  property  at  the  time  of  my  decease,  to 
be  equally  divided  between  them.  I  give  to  my  daughter  Joanna  Prince  one  good 
cow  from  the  stock  that  will  be  on  my  Dodge  farm  at  the  time  of  my  decease.  I 
give  to  each  of  my  grand  children,  that  shall  be  alive  at  the  time  of  my  decease,  a 
good,  table,  silver,  spoon:  and  to  Josiah  Batchelder  Prince  I  give  ten  dollars  in

257-  CAPT.  JACOB  BATCHELDER  (John,  John,  Joseph,  John,  Joseph),  b. 
Topslield,  Mass.,  July  2,  1779;  m.  June  8,  1802,  Mary  Cummings,  b.  Topsfield  Aug. 
31,  1779;  dan.  of  Joseph  and  Annie  Cummings;  d.  June  22,  1871,  ae.  ninety-two. 
Jacob  Batchelder,  born  in  Topsfield,  Mass.,  was  a  person  of  unusual  intelligence  and 
discernment,  and  took  a  marked  personal  interest  in  all  the  questions  of  his  day 
and  generation.  He  was  of  a  kindly  disposition ;  but  possessed  great  firmness  and 
decision  of  character,  and  in  his  family  his  “word  was  law.”  He  was  an  inn-holder 
in  various  places  during  a  great  part  of  his  life,  and  was  eminent  in  his  chosen 
vocation ;  but  he  finally  purchased  a  farm  in  Boxford,  deeming  that  life  more  con¬ 
ducive  to  the  welfare  of  his  young  sons.  During  the  war  of  1812  he  was  the 
captain  of  a  militia  company— he  was  always  known  as  Capt.  Batchelder — which 
was  ordered  by  the  governor  to  report  for  duty  and  proceeded  to  Boston,  expecting 
to  engage  in  active  service ;  but  after  having  encamped  for  some  time  upon  the 
common,  they  were,  to  their  great  disappointment,  returned  to  their  homes,  without 
engaging  in  active  warfare.  During  the  last  part  of  his  life  he  was  disabled  by  an 
accident,  and  for  several  years  was  unable  to  employ  himself  actively  as  before. 
He  died  in  Boxford  Feb.  i,  1853.  His  will,  of  which  the  following  is  a  copy,  was 
probated  March  29,  1853: 

In  the  name  of  God,  Amen,  I  Jacob  Batchelder'of  Boxford  in  the  county  of 
Essex  and  commonwealth  of  Mass.,  gentleman,  being  admonished  of  the  uncer¬ 
tainty  of  life,  and  desirous  of  disposing  of  my  worldly  estate,  do  hereby  make  this 
my  last  will  and  testament  as  follows,  viz. 

First.  I  give  and  bequeath  to  my  beloved  wife  Mary,  in  case  she  shall  outlive 
me,  all  my  household  furniture,  and  beds  and  bedding,  to  her  and  her  heirs  forever. 
I  further  give  to  her  the  use,  income  and  improvement  of  one  third  part  of  all  my 
real  estate  during  her  natural  life. 

Second.  I  give  and  bequeath  to  my  daughter  Lydia  Gould,  (wife  of  Daniel 
Gould)  over  and  above  what  I  have  already  given  to  her,  the  sum  of  fifty  dollars, 
to  her  and  and  her  heirs. 

Third.  I  give  and  bequeath  to  my  son  Jacob  Batchelder,  over  and  above  what 
I  have  already  given  to  him,  the  sum  of  one  hundred  dollars,  to  him  and  his  heirs. 

Fourth.  I  give  and  bequeath  to  my  son  Joseph  C.  Batchelder  over  and  above 
what  I  have  already  given  to  him  the  sum  of  two  hundred  dollars,  to  him  and  his 
heirs. 

Fifth.  All  of  the  rest,  residue  and  remainder  of  my  estaie,  both  real  and  per¬ 
sonal  after  the  payment  of  my  just  debts  and  the  expenses  of  the  settlement  of  my 
estate,  and  the  legacies  herein  before  named,  I  give  and  bequeath  to  my  three  sons, 
VIZ.  John  O.  Batchelder,  Samuel  FI.  Batchelder,  and  Edward  G.  Batchelder,  in 
equal  shares,  to  them  and  their  respective  heirs  and  assigns  forever. 

Sixth.  I  order  my  executor  hereinafter  named  to  pay  all  of  the  aforenamed 
legacies  within  one  year  after  my  decease. 

Seventh.  I  hereby  nominate  and  appoint  my  son  Samuel  H.  Batchelder  sole 
executor  of  this  my  last  will  and  testament.  In  witness  of  all  and  each  of  the  things 
herein  contained,  I  have  hereunto  set  my  hand  and  seal  this  second  day  of  June  in 
the  year  of  our  Lord  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  forty  eight. 

Jacob  Batchelder  Seal.

Hadley;  res.  Washington  C.  H.,  Fayette  Co.,  Ohio.  He  is  a 
lawyer,  b.  Sandwich,  N.  H.,  May  7,  1837.  At  the  age  of  twenty- 
three  he  left  his  rural  home  and  went  to  Peabody,  Mass.,  where 
he  read  law  in  the  office  of  Sidney  C.  Bancroft,  where  he  remained 
one  year,  proceeding  from  there  to  Salem,  Mass.,  where  he  pros¬ 
ecuted  his  legal  studies  in  the  office  of  Perry  &  Endicot.  In  1862 
he  was  admitted  to  the  bar  of  the  State  of  Massachusetts  and  the 
same  year  enlisted  in  Company  C,  Fifth  Massachusetts  Infantry. 
Although  his  term  of  service  was  short  he  participated  in  several 
battles  and  came  near  losing  his  life.  Returning  to  Massachu¬ 
setts  he  opened  a  law  office  in  Danvers,  Nov.  i,  1863.  He  was 
actively  en.sraged  in  practice  there  until  April,  1870,  when  he 
moved  to  Washington  C.  H.,  Ohio.  He  practiced  four  and 
one-half  years  and  then  formed  a  partnership  with  Col.  H.  B. 
Maynard,  which  continued  from  Oct.  i,  1874,  to  May  i,  1885. 
When  the  new  court  house  was  erected  the  old  office  was  tom 
down  and  Mr.  Hadley  has  since  practiced  alone.  In  1881  he  was 
elected  to  the  Legislature  and  re-elected  two  years  later,  serving 
for  four  years.  Sept,  i,  1868,  hs  was  united  in  marriage  to  Miss 
Lizzie  Emerson,  of  Danvers,  Mass.,  and  they  have  two  children — 
Olive  B.  and  Harry  L.  The  religious  home  of  the  family  is  the 
Presbyterian  church,  of  which  Mr.  Hadley  is  deacon  and  treas¬ 
urer.  For  several  years  he  has  been  president  of  Business  Men’s 
Committee,  and  is  actively  engaged  in  building  up  the  town.  He 
has  few  equals  as  a  clear-headed  man  and  judge  of  human  nature.

271.  REV.  JOHN  BATCHELLOR  (Benjamin,  Benjamin,  John,  John,  Joseph), 
b.  Aug.  23,  1795,  Brookfield,  Mass. ;  m.  Dec.  24,  1827,  Mrs.  Barbara  Richards 
Erskine,  b.  Dec.  26,  1803;  d.  March  24,  1885.  Rev.  John  Batcheller  was  born  in 
Brookfield,  Mass.,  and  went  to  Vermont  when  a  boy.  Through  the  godly  influence 
of  a  pious  mother  he  was  early  impressed  with  religious  duties,  and  was  finally 
brought  to  God  ^when  sixteen  years  of  age.  He  was  licensed  to  preach  when 
twenty-two  years  of  age,  and  was  ordained  deacon  at  Barnard,  Vt.,  by  Bishop 
George,  in  1S21.  He  came  to  Maine  that  year  and  preached  in  several  towns.  In 

1830  he  was  admitted  to  the  Maine  Conference  held  in  Portland,  and  was  there 
ordained  elder  by  Bishop  Hedding.  Following  are  some  of  the  appointments 
which  he  received:  Orrington  and  Bucksport,  with  Rev.  Benj.  Jones,  1830;  Surry; 

1831  and  ’32;  Steuben,  1833;  Brooksville,  1834-35;  Penobscot,  1836;  Surry,  1837, 
Hillmanack  and  Brownville,  1838;  Dover,  1839;  Harmony,  1840.  In  1841  he 
located  and  in  1843  was  readmitted,  but  soon  superannuated.  At  the  time  of  his 
death  he  had  been  a  preacher  of  the  gospel  fifty-six  years  and  a  fully  ordained 
minister  forty-three  years.  He  had  been  on  the  superannuated  list  about  thirty 
years  and  had  lived  most  of  the  time  in  Bristol,  Maine.  His  heart  was  in  the  work, 
however.  He  preached  occasionally,  attended  many  funerals  and  was  accustomed 
to  visit  the  sick.  His  last  sermon  was  preached  in  Round  Pond,  Me.,  on  the 
second  Sunday  in  the  year  1873,  from  i  Cor.  7:29 — “But  this  I  say,  brethren,  the 
time  is  short,”  etc.  It  had  been  observ'ed  for  six  months  previous  to  his  death  that 
his  health  was  fast  failing.  At  last,  after  an  illness  of  five  days,  on  Feb.  15,  1873, 
at  the  age  of  seventy-eight  years,  he  passed  to  his  long-looked-for  reward.  He

Jacob  Batcheller,  was  born  in  the  mountain  town  of  Stratton,  Vermont,  and  married 
Anna  Gale,  of  the  same  town.  Soon  after  the  birth  of  his  first  son,  Isaae  Gale,  he 
moved  to  Arlington,  Vt.,  where  he  set  up  a  forge  and  began  to  work  at  his  trade. 
His  other  children — Susan,  John,  Laura,  Lyman  Jr.,  and  Justin — were  born  in 
Arlington.  In  1835  he  moved  his  family  to  Wallingford,  Vt.,  purchased  a  small 
water  power,  and  resumed  his  blacksmithing  with  the  help  of  the  older  boys.  In 
1847  the  first  shop  was  burned,  but  a  new  stone  shop  was  built  and  the  firm  of 
Batcheller  &  Sons  was  formed,  consisting  of  Lyman  Batcheller  and  his  sons  John  C.

Joseph),  b.  Royalston,  Mass.,  June  3,  1778;  ra.  Sarah - ;  shed,  in  Royalston, 

March  16,  1826;  m.  2d,  Martha  Simmonds.  Dr.  Stephen  Bacheller,  Jr.,  received  his 
preparatory  education  at  the  Academies  of  Chesterfield,  N.  H.,  and  New  Salem, 
Mass.  He  devoted  much  attention  to  the  study  of  the  Latin  language  and  had  a 
good  knowledge  of  Greek.  He  commenced  the  study  of  medicine  with  his  father, 
but  spent  the  latter  period  of  his  pupilage  under  the  instruction  of  the  late  Dr. 
Henry  Wells,  of  Montague,  one  of  the  most  distinguished  physicians  of  New  Eng¬ 
land.  At  the  age  of  22  he  began  the  practice  of  his  profession  in  Truro  on  the  Cape. 
This  was  in  the  autumn  or  winter  of  1800.  He  remained  at  Truro  three  years; 
when,  at  the  solicitation  of  his  father,  who  began  to  feel  some  of  the  infirmities  of 
age,  he  returned  to  his  native  town  and  commenced  business  with  him  in  1803, 
And  it  is  a  fact  worthy  of  notice  that  the  father  and  son  practiced  in  town  during 
the  long  period  of  80  years — the  father  35  years  before  the  son  commenced  with 
him,  and  the  son  45  years  from  his  return  to  Royalston  in  1803.  As  a  physician, 
the  latter  certainly  held  a  high  and  very  respectable  rank,  and  was  greatly  esteemed 
by  his  professional  brethren.  He  probably  had,  for  many  years,  a  more  extensive 
consultation  business  than  any  other  physician  in  the  county,  and  perhaps  in  the 
State.  He  was  highly  honored  by  the  Massachusetts  Medical  Society,  of  which  he 
became  a  fellow  June  i,  1824,  and  continued  his  connection  to  the  time  of  his  de¬ 
cease.  He  was  one  of  the  most  punctual  attendants  at  its  annual  meetings,  often 
riding  from  Royalston  to  Boston,  70  miles  or  more,  in  his  gig  the  day  before  the 
meeting,  and  returning  home  in  the  same  manner  the  day  after.  He  was  for  many 
years  one  of  the  counsellors  of  the  society,  two  years  its  vice-president  and  one  of 
the  delegates  from  this  society  in  March,  1848,  to  the  American  Medical  A.ssocia- 
tion,  whose  session  that  year  was  held  in  Baltimore.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  of 
the  District  Society,  for  Worcester  county,  and  for  some  years  its  president.  The 
number  of  medical  students  who  spent  a  part  or  the  whole  of  their  pupilage  with 
him,  was  about  40,  many  of  whom  have  proved  respectable  and  even  eminent  phy¬ 
sicians.  He  was  ambitious  to  keep  pace  with  the  improvements  in  the  profession, 
procuring  and  reading  the  latest  and  most  approved  periodical  publications  and 
standard  works.  He  was  an  early  riser,  and  devoted  his  whole  time  to  his  library 
and  his  patients.  His  professional  charges  were  unusually  low,  and  like  very  many 
of  his  brethren  he  was  negligent  in  collecting  his  debts,  especially  if  the  debtor  was 
poor.  The  widow  and  the  orphan  were  constantly  applying  to  him  for  advice  and 
counsel,  and  he  often  assisted  them  to  his  own  pecuniary  detriment.  Independ¬ 
ently  of  his  professional  worth  he  was  highly  esteemed  by  his  townsmen  as  a  valu¬ 
able  citizen,  representing  his  native  town  in  the  State  legislature,  holding  the  office 
of  a  justice  of  the  peace,  and  serving  in  various  municipal  offices.  He  gave  all  his

influence  in  favor  of  the  cause  of  temperance,  and  contributed  liberally  for  the  sup¬ 
port  of  the  institutions  of  religion,  education,  etc.  He  literally  died  in  the  harness, 
having  ])racticed  in  two  of  the  adjoining  towns  on  the  day  of  his  death,  and  on  his 
return,  deposited  his  vote  for  presidential  electors  at  the  town  house.  He  died  at 
the  house  of  a  near  neighbor,  where  he  called  apparently  well,  but  soon  complained 
of  feeling  faint,  leaned  back  in  his  chair,  and  called  for  a  glass  of  water,  but  before 
it  could  be  handed  him  he  was  dead. 

Gov.  Alexander  H.  Bullock,  in  his  anniversary  address  at  Royalston  in  1865, 
said  this:  Stephen  Batcheller,  Jr.,  practiced  here  and  in  all  the  northeastern  por¬ 
tions  of  Massachusetts  nearly  as  long  as  he,  and  with  a  more  widely  spread  reputa¬ 
tion.  His  education  was  respectable,  but  his  sagacity  and  instincts  were  uncommon 
and  remarkable.  Most  eminent  practitioners  in  the  State,  who  met  him  in  the  con¬ 
ventions  of  the  Faculty  at  Boston  and  Worcester,  have  told  me  that  his  rank  was  of 
the  highest.  Who  of  us  does  not  today  recall  his  portly  dimensions,  his  elastic  step, 
his  perceptions  of  our  ailments,  his  wit  and  mirth  of  conversation  which  palliated 
the  bitterness  of  the  potion  he  administered  and  forced  convalescence  into  whole¬ 
some  jollity?  No  physician  in  the  county  of  Worcester  ever  rode  so  many  miles 
as  he.  He  practiced  a  little  after  the  old  style,  but  he  had  grand  ideas  of  common 
sense  about  sickness  and  health.  One  such  doctor  to  a  generation  in  a  town  be¬ 
comes  a  farreaching  power  in  the  issues  of  life  and  death.  Dr.  Batcheller  was 
absolutely  august  in  his  proportions,  always  riding  rapidly  and  smoking  as  fast, 
with  a  short,  genial  nod  and  a  happy  word  for  everybody  and  especially  for  the

shoemaker  until  he  was  about  thirty  years  of  age,  when  he  followed  his  father  to 
Vermont  in  order  to  help  him  with  the  care  of  the  farm  which  he  had  cleared  from 
what  was  then  a  wilderness.  Otis  married,  at  about  the  age  of  forty,  Adeline  Fos¬ 
ter,  and  settled  in  Orange,  Vt.  Nine  children  were  born  to  them.  In  1851  they  re¬

b.  Mt.  Vernon,  N.  H.,  March  2,  1792;  m.  there  March  23,  1819,  Lydia  Batchelder, 
b.  Feb.  II,  1792;  d.  Sept.  30,  1883  (own  cousins.)  Ezra  was  a  very  strong,  mus¬ 
cular  man,  and  had  been  a  great  wrestler,  at  which  he  seldom,  if  ever,  found  his 
match.  In  his  younger  days  he  was  for  a  time  a  sailor,  and  during  the  war  of  1812 
was  for  some  time  on  board  a  privateer.  Later  in  life  he  often  amused  the  younger 
people  with  stories  of  his  privateer  life.  One,  which  I  at  one  time  heard  him  relate 
and  which  I  have  often  heard,  I  will  give  you:  On  one  occasion  they  captured 
a  prize,  and  Bachelder,  with  a  few  more  men,  were  detailed  to  take  it,  with  the 
prisoners,  into  port.  During  the  voyage  the  captain  was  allowed  to  come  on  deck, 
while  the  other  prisoners  were  kept  below.  The  captain  soon  learned  that 
Batchelder  was  the  one  who  was  the  most  to  be  feared  among  the  men,  and  he  with 
the  other  prisoners  formed  a  plot  to  recapture  the  vessel.  The  captain  was  to  go 
on  deck  at  an  appointed  time  and  challenge  Batchelder  to  wrestle  with  him,  and 
when  he  had  got  him  down — which  he  felt  sure  of  doing — the  other  prisoners  were 
to  rush  up  and  try  to  overpower  the  rest  of  the  men.  At  the  appointed  time  the 
challenge  was  given  and  readily  accepted.  The  captain  was  a  large  strong  man, 
and  Batchelder  said  he  never  found  a  man  whom  he  had  so  hard  work  to  handle  as 
he  did  that  old  British  captain,  as  he  expressed  it.  But  he  finally  succeeded  in 
throwing  him  to  the  deck  and  holding  him  there.  The  moment  they  came  down 
there  was  a  rush  of  the  prisoners  below  for  the  deck,  but  when  they  came  up  and 
found  that  their  captain,  instead  of  holding  Batchelder,  was  being  held  down 
himself,  their  courage  failed,  and  they  were  soon  driven  back  by  the  other  men. 
The  captain  was  not  allowed  on  deck  again  during  the  voyage.  He  d.  May  19,  1875.

Today  is  the  97th  anniversary  of  the  birth  of  IMrs.  I^ois,  widow 
of  the  late  Sumner  Maynard,  of  Northboro.  Mrs.  Maynard  was 
born  in  Northbridge,  Oct.  8,  1800,  and  was  the  daughter  of  Capt. 
Simeon  Batchelor,  and  granddaughter  of  Maj.  Batchelor,  one  of 
the  most  public  spirited  men  of  the  town  at  that  time.  He  gave 
much  toward  building  the  First  church  in  Northbridge,  giving  the 
land  and  also  the  land  for  the  central  burying  ground.  Mrs.  May¬ 
nard’s  ancestors  were  all  among  the  most  prominent  people  of  the 
town,  and  the  community  owes  much  to  their  perseverance,  energy 
and  loyalty,  for  they  were  among  the  first  settlers.  Mrs.  Maynard 
comes  from  a  rugged  race,  and  many  of  her  family  have  lived  to 
an  advanced  age.  Her  mother  was  93  when  she  died,  in  1862.  Mrs. 
Maynard  is  a  remarkable  woman  for  one  of  her  age,  being  bright 
and  active,  and  this  summer  she  has  pieced  several  bed  quilts,  and 
tied  one  herself.  Many  of  her  friends  have  called  upon  her  today, 
feeling  that  much  honor  is  due  to  the  oldest  living  person  in  North- 
boro,  one  who  has  always  labored  for  the  best  interests  of  the 
church  and  people. — -[Worcester  Spy,  Oct.  8,  1897.]

(Rhodes).  In  his  youth  he  worked  for  a  Quaker  on  a  farm.  He  learned  the  shoe¬ 
maker’s  and  hatter’s  trades,  but  never  worked  at  either.  He  had  a  good  education, 
was  naturally  smart,  and  was  an  excellent  penman,  was  a  great  reader,  and  unus¬ 
ually  good  at  mathematics.  He  was  a  quiet,  reserved  man,  good  looking,  five  feet 
eight  inches  tall,  well  proportioned,  black  beard,  gray-blue  eyes,  fine  looking  fore¬ 
head.  He  had  far  more  intelligence  than  his  neighbors,  for  they  often  consulted 
him  and  relied  on  his  judgment.  He  had  no  ambition  and  by  the  death  of  his 
parents  at  an  early  age  was  left  without  proper  guidance.  He  acquired  a  habit 
which  came  near  being  his  death;  he,  however,  later  joined  the  Sons  of  Tem¬ 
perance.  and  was  ever  after  an  earnest  worker.  He  worked  at  the  stone  business 
and  was  killed  by  a  blast  in  the  quarry.  Just  before  his  marriage,  by  the  death  of 
his  grandfather  in  Massachusetts,  he  was  left  some  property.  When  a  boy  he  had

421.  SERGT.  JOSEPH  SLEIGH  BATCHELOR  (Joseph,  Amos,  David, 
John,  Joseph),  b.  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  Sept.  6,  1788;  m.  in  Steubenville,  Ohio,  1812, 
Sarah  Murray,  b.  Dec.  ii.  1794;  d.  Jan.  23,  1852.  Joseph  Sleigh  Batchelor  was  born 

in  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  Sept.  6,  1788.  He  learned 
the  cabinetmaking  trade  and  in  1810  he  and  his 
mother  moved  west  and  located  in  Steubenville, 
Ohio.  He  bought  a  lot  on  which  was  a  one- 
story  log  house,  which  he  used  for  a  shop,  and 
began  the  manufacture  of  furniture.  On  the 
opposite  corner  of  the  lot  from  his  shop  he  built 
a  one-story  clapboard  house  for  a  dwelling  for 
his  mother  and  himself.  This  latter  house  was 
the  kitchen  for  the  homestead  from  that  day  to 
this,  and  is  still  standing  and  used  for  that  pur¬ 
pose.  His  business  matters  seem  to  have  gone 
on  satisfactorily  and  harmoniously,  until  one 
quietSunday  morningin  the  spring  of  1812,  when 
the  good  people  of  the  town  were  startled  by  the 
sound  of  a  drum.  A  messenger  had  arrived 
from  the  frontier  to  warn  the  people  that  the 
Indians  were  murdering  all  before  them,  and 
the  government  had  called  for  volunteers.  Capt. 
Nicholas  Murray  (his  wife’s  brother)  organized 
a  company,  with  Joseph  S.  Batchelor  as  orderly 
sergeant,  and  on  the  following  Thursday  they 
started  on  foot  for  the  scene  of  action  and  were 
mustered  into  service  under  General  Harrison. 
Before  leaving,  Mr.  B.  discharged  his  appren¬ 
tice  boys,  hung  a  Jack-plane  over  the  outside  of 
the  shop  door,  kissed  his  mother  good-by,  and 
left  with  his  company  for  the  frontier  lakes.  It  is  very  evident  that  after  he  was 
married  he  continued  his  businesss  with  the  same  energy  which  he  displayed  in 
after  years.  Before  he  and  his  wife  were  married  his  mother  and  he  lived  in  the 
one-story  house  before  referred  to,  that  stood  on  the  northwest  end  of  the  lot,  about 
twenty  feet  from  the  front.  The  house  was  about  twenty-five  by  fifteen  feet.  In 
one  corner  alongside  of  the  fireplace  was  a  closet,  from  which  a  ladder  led  to  the 
garret,  which  was  his  bedroom.  When  he  arrived  from  Philadelphia  he  had,  from 
all  accounts,  brought  with  him  some  city  airs,  and  is  said  to  have  been  a  very 
particular  man  in  his  dress,  always  wearing  his  ruffled  shirt,  and,  a  few  years  later, 
wore  a  queue  of  his  hair,  tied  at  the  end  with  a  black  ribbon.  There  is  a  profile  of 
him  that  shows  the  queue.  His  mother  used  to  tell  of  the  dandy  young  man  who, 
after  working  all  day,  would  dress  himself  in  his  garret  room,  and  come  down  in 
his  ruffles  to  go  a  “galing.  ”  Although  he  was  driving  his  business  with  all  his 
might,  he  evidently  took  time  to  hunt  a  wife.  When  he  had  succeeded  in  his 
arrangements  in  that  important  mission,  the  next  thing  to  do  was  to  find  a  domicile 
to  bring  her  to.  He  then  built  a  two  story  frame  house  in  front  of  the  one  men¬ 
tioned  above.  The  addition  was  about  thirty  feet  front  by  twenty  deep,  a  hall 
through  one  end,  with  stairs  leading  to  the  second  story,  one  large  room  and  hall 
downstairs,  and  two  rooms  upstairs.  In  this  humble  home — in  those  days  consid¬ 
ered  a  very  good  one — he  brought  Sarah  Murray,  daughter  of  Nicholas  and 
Temperance  Murray,  as  his  wife.  Here  they  lived  and  here  all  the  children  were 
born. 

As  orderly  sergeant  of  Captain  Murray’s  company  in  the  war  of  1812,  he  had 
the  muster  roll,  which  he  preserved,  and  forty  years  afterward,  when  Congress 
passed  a  law  giving  the  soldiers  of  1812  pensions,  he  produced  the  muster  roll  of  the 
company  to  identify  the  members,  and  that  evidence  was  sufficient  to  enable  mem¬ 
bers  or  their  heirs  to  get  their  pensions.  He  carried  on  the  manufacture  of  first-

class  furniture  for  many  years.  His  plan  was  to  make  up  through  the  winter  large 
quantities  of  goods  and  during  the  spring  or  early  summer  it  would  be  loaded  on 
a  flat  or  trading  boat  and  then  the  craft  would  be  cut  loose  for  a  trip  down  the 
Ohio  as  far  as  Cincinnati,  O.,  during  which  time  he  would  sell  off  the  cargo.  Then 
the  return  trip  home  would  follow,  which  during  his  first  experience  was  by  walk¬ 
ing  and  riding,  as  the  opportunity  ottered,  and  later  by  steamboat,  which  was 
a  wonderful  improvement  on  the  first.  He  died  at  Steubenville,  Ohio,  and  was 
buried  with  Masonic  honors  in  the  old  Methodist  burying  ground  on  the  24th  of 
June,  1S56.  He  d.  June  23,  1856.  Res.  Steubenville,  Ohio.

of  Rev.  Reuben  Hubbard,  b.  1870,  in  Hillsdale  County,  Mich.,  1837.  He  was  born 
in  Mass,  in  Charlton,  obtained  a  good  education  for  those  early  days,  and  fitted 
for  ministry.  He  was  early  brought  under  the  influences  of  the  pioneer  Methodist 
preachers  in  New  England,  embraced  that  faith,  and  for  many  years  preached  in 
Brimfield,  Mass.  In  1798  he  joined  conference  and  after  traveling  six  years  in  east 
moved  to  state  of  New  York,  Cortland  County,  town  of  Homer.  Having  re¬ 
mained  a  short  time  local,  he  again  united  with  the  traveling  connection  and  lab¬ 
ored  with  untiring  diligei'ce  and  unabating  zeal  for  many  years,  with  great  ac¬ 
ceptability.  He  was  found  aniong  the  delegates  of  the  first  delegated  general  con- 
ferance,  1812.  Those  acquainted  with  the  afflictions  and  privations  of  early  M.  E. 
ministers  know  how  to  sympathize  with  them  and  their  families,  even  children  of 
district  schools  were  ridiculed  and  treated  with  contempt,  for  no  other  cause  than 
that  their  parents  were  Methodists.  Preaching  the  unsearchable  riches  of  Christ, 
he  frequently  traveled  600  miles  and  preached  40  times  in  four  weeks;  his  wife, 
who  shared  his  privations  and  trials,  was  Patty  Hubbard,  and  sister  of  Rev.  Rufus 
Hubbard,  an  eminently  pious  and  useful  minister  of  the  gospel  for  many  years; 
six  children  were  born  to  them — Wesley.  David,  John,  Rubin.  Mary  (Abigal).  He 
fought  a  good  fight,  kept  the  faith,  endured  unto  the  end,  has  entered  into  rest,

C.  Bowler  of  M.  She  d-  March  21.  1858.  It  is  said  of  him  when  only  eleven  years 
of  age  he  opened  a  session  of  the  district  school  with  prayer.  He  early  desired  to 
be  a  minister,  and  in  1801,  at  the  age  of  nearly  twenty-one,  was  licensed  to  preach 
by  the  M.  E.  church,  in  session  in  Ashburnham,  Mass.  He  served  acceptably 
at  various  places — Sandwich,  Salisbury,  Hawke,  Marblehead,  Ipswich,  Portland, 
Me.  In  1810  he  over  exerted  himself.  He  resided  for  some  years  after  his  mar¬ 
riage  in  Marblehead,  studied  still  further  for  the  ministry  and  rapidly  advanced, 
also  joined  the  Congregational  demonination.  He  was  called  as  pastor  at  New 
Bedford,  where  he  remained  for  some  time,  finally  locating,  in  1816,  in  Oxford, 
Mass.  He  was  esteemed  bj'  all  classes  and  admired  by  all  for  his  sympathetic  dis¬ 
position  and  manner.  He  had  a  fine  voice  and  often  led  in  singing.  In  his 
manner  he  was  simple  and  fervent,  often  speaking  without  notes,  and  in  prayer 
was  earnest  and  devout.  In  in  his  person  he  was  about  average  size,  attractive  and 
social  and  abounded  in  pleasantry  and  anecdote;  was  elected  town  clerk  for  a  year.

dau.  of  David,  d.  June  28,  1859.  Charles  Batcheller,  the  subject  of  this  sketch, 
w.ns  descended  from  the  family  of  that  name  near  Boston;  his  grandfather  and 
father  (both  bearing  the  name  of  Abraham)  were  officers  in  the  Revolutionary 
War — Massachusetts  troops;  his  mother  was  Rebecca  Dwight  of  that  well  known 
New  England  family;  and  from  these  staunch  Puritans  he  inherited  a  fine  phy¬ 
sique  and  many  sterling  qualities.  He  was  b  in  Paris,  Oneida  county,  N.  Y.,  near 
Utica,  when  that  city  was  a  little  hamlet  of  three  houses.  When  a  lad  of  14  his 
parents  removed  to  the  then  wilderness  of  Chautauqua  county,  N.  Y.,  following  a 
trail  of  marked  trees,  the  only  road.  He  m.  Eliza  Ann  Johnson,  also  of  New  Eng¬ 
land  ancestry,  and  settled  on  a  high  hill  in  Stockton,  N.  Y.,  commanding  a  mag¬ 
nificent  view  of  the  chain  of  Cassadaga  Lakes  and  Lakes  Erie  and  Chautauqua, 
becoming  what  at  that  time  was  considered  a  wealthy  farmer.  Eive  daughters 
and  one  son  were  born  to  them.  In  1849  he  removed  to  Fredonia,  N.  Y.,  and 
conducted  a  retail  dry  goods  business  until  1857,  when,  having  bought  a  large 
tract  of  land  in  Iowa  county,  Iowa,  he  removed  there  and  resumed  farming.  His 
wife  dying  June  28,  1859,  he  disposed  of  his  interests  there  and  invested  in  Texas 
lands,  and  while  on  a  visit  to  them  he  was  taken  ill  and  died  on  Christmas  Day, 
1882,  in  Colorado,  Texas.  He  was  buried  by  the  side  of  his  wife,  in  Victor,  Iowa. 
For  over  40  years  he  was  an  honored  deacon  in  the  Baptist  church,  and  was  most 
highly  gifted  in  prayer.  In  politics  he  was  a  Radical,  being  an  ardent  admirer  of 
Wendall  Philips,  Gerrit  Smith,  and  Garrison,  helping  many  a  poor  slave  through 
to  Canada  via  the  underground  railway,  and  always  remained  a  Republican.  Too 
old  to  go  himself,  he  sent  his  only  son  to  serve  his  country  in  the  War  of  the 
Rebellion.  He  d.  Dec.  25,  1882.  Res.  Victor,  Iowa.

Eliza  Ann  Johnson,  was  born  April  24,  1849,  and  when  a  young 
lass  removed  from  the  County  of  Chautauqua,  N.  Y.,  to  Iowa, 
with  her  parents.  She  still  retains  vivid  recollections  of  her 
childhood  life— the  vast  prairies  with  their  terrifying  fires,  the 
howling  of  the  prairie  wolves,  the  visits  of  wild  (half-tamed)  In¬ 
dians,  the  caravans  of  Mormons,  and  Pike’s  Peak  explorers. 
But  after  the  death  of  her  mother,  in  1859,  she  was  sent  away 
to  school,  and  her  life  has  been  spent  mostly  in  the  east — New

Batcheller  was  born  in  Sutton,  Mass.,  his  wife,  Polly  Chase,  was  born 
in  Sutton,  North  Parish.  He  was  educated  in  the  district  schools  of 
Sutton.  At  the,  age  of  14  years  he  went  to  Boston  and  enlisted  in  the  U.  S.  Navy, 
and  was  assigned  to  the  Frigate  Constitution,  then  in  command-  of  Capt.  Isaac 
Hull.  Duty  assigned  him  was  cabin  boy.  He  was  in  service  one  year,  and  during 
ing  this  time  the  Frigate  made  a  cruise  around  the  West  India  Islands,  for  the 
protection  of  the  American  shipping,  and  then  returned  to  Boston,  and  was  dis¬ 
charged.  He  then  returned  to  Sutton;  he  went  into  the  employment  of  John  Mar¬ 
ble,  of  Marbleville,  Sutton,  Mass.,  scythe  manufacturer,  and  learned  the  business. 
He  continued  in  this  business  all  his  life,  having  associated  with  him  part  of  the 
time,  his  sons,  Moses  L.  and  Jonas  H.  Batcheller,  where  they  carried  on  the  man¬ 
ufacturing  in  Grafton,  Mass.,  and  Burrillville',  Rhode  Island.  He  was  known  as 
one  of  the  best  temperers  of  steel  in  Worcester  county  and  that  section.  He  tem¬ 
pered  scythes  for  a  large  firm  in  Rhode  Island  for  several  years,  and  their  scythes 
were  sought  after  far  and  wide  for  their  excellent  cutting  qualities.  Aquilla  Chase, 
the  ancestor  of  Mrs.  Batcheller,  was  a  mariner  and  came  from  Cornwall,  England, 
in  1640,  to  Hampton,  N.  H.  He  came  over  with  liis  brother  Thomas,  and  after 
residing  in  Hampton  for  many  years  he  moved  to  Newbury,  Mass.,  where  he  died

icines  and  was  a  great  student.  .\t  an  early  age  he  went  to 
Worcester,  and  with  one  of  the  most  celebrated_  watchmakers 
there  learned  that  trade.  Later  he  was  in  the  finishing  depart¬ 
ment  of  the  Elgin  Watch  Company.  He  was  an  expert  at  this 
trade  and  was  one  of  the  most  skilled  in  his  line.  He  invented 
a  self-winding  watch,  said  to  have  been  the  first  ever  made  in 
this  country.  He  continued  his  studies  and  reading  and  was 
soon  one  of  the  best  posted  persons  in  that  section  on  my¬ 
thology,  metaphysics,  astronomy,  and  astrology.  He  has  pub¬ 
lished  three  almanacs  which  had  a  large  sale,  and  made  rnany 
predictions  which  have  been  fulfilled.  For  some  time  he  resided 
in  the  south,  but  of  late  years  has  lived  in  New  York,  on  the

moved  to  Brookfiled,  the  Second  Parish.  His  father  purchased  the  property  which 
lias  since  been  known  as  the  “Batcheller  Place.”  When  in  his  15th  year  he  went 
to  Grafton  and  learned  the  trade  of  shoemaker  of  Nathan  Johnson.  At  the  close 
of  his  apprenticeship  there  he  returned  to  North  Brookfield  and  was  employed  in 
the  establishment  of  Oliver  Ward,  who,  in  1810,  began  the  manufacture  of  “Sale 
Shoes,”  the  first  of  the  kind  in  the  state  west  of  Grafton.  He  resided  in  Mr. 
Ward’s  family  for  eight  years.  In  1819  he  began  business  on  his  own  account  at 
the  Wetherbee  house,  so  called,  which  stood  on  the  spot  now  occupied  by  the 
house  of  Mr.  Erastus  Hill.  Having  married  the  same  year,  he  resided  there  with 
his  family,  the  back  part  of  the  house  serving  as  his  manufactory.  At  first  his  bus¬ 
iness  consisted  of  only  such  shoes  as  he  could  make  with  his  own  hands,  soon, 
however,  taking  into  his  service  one  or  two  apprentices  and  hi.s  brother  Ezra. 
The  first  shoes  he  made  were  of  a  low  priced  quality,  especially  adapted  to  the 
southern  trade.  These  he  packed  in  empty  flour  barrels  and  consigned  to  Mr. 
Enoch  Train,  who  in  those  days  ran  a  line  of  packet  vessels  between  Boston  and 
Havana.  On  these  small  consignments  he  realized  a  large  profit.  In  1821  he  pur¬ 
chased  the  Skerry  house  and  farm,  in  the  center  of  the  town  on  the  main  street, 
expecting  to  enter  into  possession  the  first  of  April,  but  in  February,  1822,  his 
dwelling  and  shop  at  the  Wetherbee  place  was  totally  destroyed  by  fire,  and  he 
at  once  removed  to  his  new  purchase,  where  he  resumed  and  continued  business 
in  an  out-building  on  the  premises  until  1824;  that  year  having  taken  into  his  em¬ 
ploy  several  additional  employes,  he  erected  a  small  two-story  shop  which  is  now 
a  part  of  the  immense  structure  known  far  and  wide  as  the  Big  Shop,  into  which. 
January.  1825.  he  removed  his  business,  and  at  the  same  date  taking  into  partner¬ 
ship  his  brother  Ezra,  enlarging  the  business,  which  was  afterwards  conducted 
under  the  firm  name  of  T.  &  E.  Batcheller.  From  this  time  forward  to  the  end  of 
his  life  the  two  brothers  were  associated  as  partners  through  all  the  changes  in 
their  bu.siness.  Tyler  attended  to  the  i)urchase  of  stock  and  the  business  abroad, 
while  Ezra  was  the  efficient  and  popular  superintendent  always  at  home  and  at 
his  post  giving  all  directions  pertaining  to  the  factory.  Harmonious  in  all  their 
business  relations  and  interests,  as  well  as  in  all  measures  devised  for  the  public 
weal,  the  act  of  one  was  the  act  of  both.  They  were  familiarly  referred  to  as  the 
Deacon  and  Ezra.  They  now  added  to  their  business  the  manufacture  of  Batchel- 
lers’  retail  brogan,  an  article  adapted  to  the  New  England  trade;  their  main  busi¬ 
ness  was  the  manufacture  of  goods  for  the  southern  and  western  trade.  Their  bus¬ 
iness  increased  and  the  factory  was  increased  to  three  times  its  original  size.  Free¬ 
man  Walker  was  admitted  to  the  firm  and  the  name  changed  to  T.  &  E.  Batcheller 
&  Walker.  In  1831  they  began  the  manufacture  of  Russet  brogans,  especially  for 
the  southern  trade — these  were  the  first  made  in  Massachusetts.  These  soon  be¬ 
came  a  leading  article  in  the  shoe  trade  and  continued  to  be  so  for  many  years. 
Mr.  Walker  retired  in  1834.  and  the  firm  name  was  again  T.  &  E.  Batcheller.  The 
business  increased  and.  in  1852.  others  were  admitted  to  the  firm  and  the  name 
changed  to  T.  &  E.  Batcheller  &  Co.  A  store  having  been  established  in  Boston, 
Tyler  Batcheller  moved  his  residence  to  that  city  in  1848.  The  business  now 
amounted  to  $1,500,000  per  annum.  At  the  breaking  out  of  the  Civil  War  a  num¬ 
ber  of  southern  houses  were  indebted  to  them  for  large  amounts,  and  for  a  time 
it  was  thought  the  firm  would  be  obliged  to  suspend  business,  but  by  an  amicable 
arrangement  the  business  was  continued,  the  firm  paying  every  dollar  of  their  in¬ 
debtedness.  The  conseciuent  worry,  anxiety  and  disappointment  at  the  sudden  re¬ 
verse  in  his  fortunes  caused  a  serious  illness  from  which  Tyler  did  not  recover. 
He  passed  away  in  his  69th  year.  Thus  ended  a  life  distinguished  for  industry, 
energy,  perseverance,  integrity  and  usefulness.  Had  his  life  been  spared  a  few 
months  longer  he  would  have  seen  the  cloud  dispelled.  He  joined  the  First  Con¬ 
gregational  church  in  1817  and  in  1820  was  elected  deacon,  which  office  he  held 
for  twenty-eight  years,  until  he  moved  to  Boston.  While  residing  in  that  city  he 
was  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trade.  He  d.  Oct.  8.  1862.  Res.  North  Brook¬

ried  his  wife  in  Reading,  where  he  resided  for  some  time  and  where  five  of  his 
children  were  born.  He  then  moved  to  Royalston,  about  1776-7,  where  his  six 
other  children  were  born.  He  was  a  prominent  citizen,  called  Major,  Deacon, 
and  Esquire.  His  name  is  first  found  on  the  records  in  1781  as  Aloderator  of  the 
town  meetings.  His  wife’s  mother  is  an  immediate  descendant  of  the  Appleton 
family  of  Ipswich,  who  were  “bleeders,”  This  condition  of  the  physical  system

the  manifestation  and  transmission  by  some  of  its  members,  of  an  anomalous 
physical  organization,  subjecting  the  persons  so  constituted  to  an  extreme  lia¬

wounds.  Hence  they  are  called  “Bleeders.”  This  phenomenon  may  be  thus 
briefly  and  accurately  described.  A  cut  or  other  hurt  upon  them  assumes  at  first 
the  common  appearance;  soon,  however,  if  inclined  to  bleed,  a  cone  of  coagulated 
blood  forms  upon  the  rupture.  This  cone  has  a  minute  aperture,  and  is  large  or 
small  according  to  the  wound.  After  a  week  or  more,  as  the  case  may  be,  the 
blood  begins  and  continues  to  flow  from  the  cone  in  a  stream,  or  more  moder¬ 
ately,  sometimes  for  several  days  in  succession,  perhaps,  until  that  fluid  becomes 
nearly  as  colorless  as  water.  At  this  stage  the  sufferer,  if  he  survives,  assumes  a 
most  ghastly  appearance  and  is  frequently  unable  to  raise  a  hand  or  even  a  finger. 
The  bleeding  ceases  when  the  cone,  which  becomes  very  fetid,  falls  off.  .\  patient 
surviving  this  point  usually  recovers  rapidly.  It  is  found  practically  useless  to 
stop  the  flow  of  blood  at  the  cone,  as  the  continued  flow  or  pressure  internally 
would  result  in  death.  They  often  bleed  profusely  at  the  nose,  and  many  of  them 
have  died  from  the  slightest  wounds.  This  hemorrhage  is  said  to  have  first  ap¬ 
peared  in  the  Appleton  family,  who  introduced  it  here  from  England.  None  but 
males  are  bleeders,  and  the  sons  of  bleeders  are  never  subject  to  it;  but  a  bleeder’s 
daughter  and  granddaughter  on  the  mother’s  side  may  have  sons  so  predisposed.

BATCHELLER  GENEALOGY. 


The  number  of  progenitors,  liowever,  wlio  thus  resemble  their  grandfathers,  is 
comparatively  small.  Eight  only  of  Mrs.  Bacheller’s  descendants  are  known  to 
the  writer  (who  is  himself  an  immediate  descendant)  as  having  exhibited  this  re¬ 
markable  feature.  Mrs.  Bacheller  had  two  brothers,  Thomas  and  Oliver  Swain, 
both  of  them  professional  physicians,  and  both  of  whom  died  from  excessive 
bleeding  from  trivial  causes.  The  eight  descendants,  above  mentioned,  were  three 
sons,  one  grandson,  three  great  grandsons,  and  one  of  the  fourth  generation; 
three  of  whom  are  now  living.  One  of  the  sons,  Thomas,  while  in  the  act  of  mak¬ 
ing  a  pen,  accidentally  penetrated  the  skin  upon  the  end  of  his  thumb  with  the 
point  of  the  knife.  The  rupture  was  too  slight,  however,  to  have  attracted  the 
least  attention  from  an  ordinarily  constituted  person.  But,  in  about  two  weeks,  a 
cone  (the  certain  percursor  of  bleeding)  began  to  form,  and  a  hemorrhage  soon 
followed,  from  which  he  nearly  lost  his  life.  At  another  time  a  very  slight  wound 
upon  his  foot  resulted  similarly.  Benjamin,  anbther  son,  bled  nearly  to  death  sev¬ 
eral  times  from  similar  slight  causes,  Chauncy  Bartlett,  the  grandson  (a  son  of 
Ira  Bartlett)  when  about  four  years  old,  fell  and  hit  his  forehead,  slightly  ruptur¬ 
ing  the  skin;  a  hurt  which  would  have  ordinarily  received  no  care  or  attention; 
but,  which,  in  his  case,  resulted  in  death  by  bleeding,  in  a  few  days.  Many  other 
instances  might  be  cited,  and  names  given  of  persons  near  or  more  remotely  con¬ 
nected  with  the  Appletons,  having  been  thus  affected.  But  as  the  description  of 
one  case  may  be  taken  as  an  illustration  of  all,  except  in  degree,  perhaps,  it  would 
seem  to  be  the  work  of  supererogation.  Science  and  skill  have  been  alike  baffled  in 
the  elucidation  and  treatment  of  this  phenomenon.  The  History  of  Royalston 
says;  John  Bacheller,  Maj.,  Esq.,  and  Dea.,  from  Reading,  settled  north  and  ad¬ 
joining  the  place  last  mentioned.  His  house  stood  on  the  opposite  side  and  a  lit¬ 
tle  south  of  the  residence  of  Samuel  Morse,  the  present  proprietor;  he  was  born 
in  Haverhill;  married  Margaret  Swain  of  Reading,  1766.  He  removed  to  Royal¬ 
ston  from  Reading,  bringing  his  wife  and  five  children,  six  more  were  subsequently 
added  to  this  number.  He  buried  his  wife  in  1810  and  removed  to  Warwick,  to 
live  with  his  son,  Thomas,  where  he  died.  Hannah,  the  first  of  his  family  born 
in  town,  married  James  Bartlett,  and  is  now,  1865,  the  sole  survivor  of  her  father's 
and  her  own  family  (10  children),  with  the  exception  of  her  son,  John  N.  Bartlett, 
with  whom  she  now  lives,  enjoying  the  use  of  her  physical  and  mental  powers  in 
a  remarkable  degree,  though  in  her  89th  year  (1865).  Her  mother  was  an  imme¬ 
diate  descendant  of  the  Appleton  family,  of  Ipswich,  among  whom  are  found  the 
“Bleeders”  so  called.  He  d.  - .  Res.  Reading  and  Royalston,  Mass.

He  assisted  in  dressing  the  wounds  of  those  who  first  bled  at  Lexington  in  the 
cause  of  their  country,  and  was  present  at  the  capture  of  Burgoyne.  He  was  born

SAMUEL,  b.  Nov  6,  1772. 

SALLY,  b.  Aug.  21,  1775.  Nathaniel  Green  was  born  in  Bos- 
cawen.  May  20,  1797.  He  was  christened  Peter;  but  having 
great  respect  for  the  memory  of  his  father,  by  permission  of  the 
legislature  of  Massachusetts  he  took  the  name  of  Nathaniel.  Ed¬ 
ucational  advantages  at  the  beginning  of  the  century  were  lim¬ 
ited  to  eight  or  ten  weeks  of  schooling  in  the  winter,  and  a 
term  of  about  the  same  length  in  summer.  Two  of  his  teach¬ 
ers  were  Miss  I.ucy  Hartwell,  who  afterwards  became  the  wife 
of  Col.  Timothy  Dix,  and  Rev.  Henry  Coleman,  then  a  young 
man,  who  subsequently  was  a  minister  in  Salem,  Mass.,  and  who 
distinguished  himself  as  a  writer  on  agricultural  subjects.  One 
of  Mr.  Greene’s  schoolmates  was  John  Adams  Dix.  Together 
they  stood  with  their  toes  to  a  ciack  in  the  floor,  their  spell¬ 
ing-books  in  their  hands,  and  made  their  “manners”  when 
Lucy  Hartwell  said,  “Attention !”  At  the  age  of  ten  he  went  to 
Hopkinton,  and  became  a  clerk  in  a  store.  While  there  he  had 
some  three  months’  additional  schooling.  The  death  of  his 
father  when  he  was  but  eleven  years  of  age,  leaving  an  embar¬ 
rassed  estate,  compelled  him  to  begin  the  struggle  of  life  under 
adverse  circumstances.  He  was  a  great  reader,  and  devoured 
all  books  that  came  in  his  way,  and  which  he  could  find  time 
to  read.  By  chance  he  read  a  memoir  of  Franklin,  which  awak¬ 
ened  in  him  a  desire  to  be  a  printer,  and  especially  to  become 
an  editor.  The  idea  took  complete  possession  of  his  youthful 
mind.  He  thought  of  it  by  day,  and  dreamed  of  it  by  night.  At 
this  time  (1809)  a  new  paper  made  its  appearance  in  Concord — 
the  New  Hampshire  Patriot,  established  by  Isaac  Hill.  On  the 
Fourth  of  July  he  walked  from  Hopkinton  to  Concord  and  of- 


BATCHELLER  GENEALOGY. 


fered  himself  to  Mr.  Hill  as  an  apprentice,  and  took  his  place 
at  the  case.  That,  however,  was  not  the  end  of  his  ambition, 
but  only  the  beginning.  It  was  not  to  give  the  other  men’s 
thoughts  to  the  world,  but  his  own.  Having  left  Mr.  Hill,  he 
became  connected  in  1812  with  the  Concord  Gazette,  published 
by  Jesse  Tuttle.  This  was  the  beginning  of  his  editorial  career. 
The  newspaper  at  that  time  usually  contained  a  ponderous  ar¬ 
ticle  on  some  political  topic,  the  latest  news  from  Europe,  the 
victories  of  the  French  armies  or  of  the  Prussians,  but  very  lit¬ 
tle  local  information.  There  were  no  reports  of  meetings,  no 
gathering  up  of  home  incidents.  The  paper  was  issued  weekly, 
and  there  was  abundant  time  for  an  editor  to  prepare  his  thun¬ 
derbolt  to  launch  at  the  opposing  political  party.  In  1814  Mr. 
Greene  moved  to  Portsmouth,  and  became  connected  with  the 
New  Hampshire  War  Journal,  published  by  Beck  &  Foster.  He 
remained  there  only  a  year,  when  he  removed  to  Haverhill, 
Mass.,  and  became  connected  with  the  Flaverhill  Gazette,  pub¬ 
lished  by  Burrell  &  Tileston.  In  this  situation,  although  but  18 
years  of  age,  he  had  the  sole  editorial  supervision  of  the  paper. 
In  1817,  at  the  age  of  20,  he  became  his  own  publisher,  and 
started  the  Essex  Patriot.  The  vigor  and  energy  of  his  writing 
had  already  attracted  the  attention  of  the  public,  and  he  was 
invited  by  some  of  the  Democratic  Republican  politicians  to 
start  a  paper  in  Boston,  and,  complying  with  the  request,  he 
issued,  on  Feb.  6,  1821,  the  first  number  of  the  Boston  States¬ 
man,  a  weekly  still  in  existence  At  that  time  there  was  a  tri¬ 
angular  contest  for  the  presidency,  and  the  Statesman  advocated 
the  election  of  W.  H.  Crawford;  but  the  result  of  the  election — 
the  elevation  of  John  Quincy  Adams  to  the  presidential  chair — 
and  the  great  increasing  popularity  of  Gen.  Jackson,  made  it 
apparent  to  the  far-seeing  young  editor  that  the  succeeding 
election  would  bring  Gen.  Jackson  prominently  before  the  pub¬ 
lic.  Mr.  Greene  labored  earnestly  to  bring  about  the  nomina¬ 
tion  and  election  of  the  hero  of  New  Orleans,  and  the  triumph 
of  the  party,  in  1828,  paved  the  way  for  Mr.  Greene’s  future 
political  success.  He  was  appointed  post-master  in  Boston  in 
1829,  and  occupied  that  official  position  until  the  accession  of 
Gen.  Harrison  to  the  presidency,  when  he  was  succeeded  by 
Mr.  George  William  Gordon;  and  although  this  was  one  of  the 
first  public  removals  of  the  new  administration,  yet  one  of  the 
last  measures  of  President  Tyler  was  to  reinstate  Mr.  Greene  in 
the  same  office,  which  he  occupied  until  after  the  election  of 
Zachary  Taylor,  in  1849.  Mr.  Greene  had  the  reputation  of 
conducting  this  department  to  the  entire  approval  of  the  na¬ 
tional  executive,  and  by  his  urbane  and  conciliatory  deportment, 
to  the  satisfaction  of  the  public  in  Boston.  While  thus  absorbed 
in  official  and  editorial  duties,  he  found  time  to  acquire  the 
French,  Italian  and  German  languages.  The  French  was  taken 
up  without  much  difficulty,  as  was  also  the  Italian;  and  in  a  few 
weeks  he  was  able  to  read  them.  He  published,  iri  1836,  a 
history  of  Italy,  translated  by  himself  from  the  Italian;  and 
subsequently,  as  a  birth-day  present  to  his  niece,  he  translated 
Undine  from  the  German  into  the  Italian.  This  work  was  read 
by  Signor  Monti,  at  that  time  Professor  of  Italian  at  Flarvard 
College,  who  pronounced  it  admirably  done,  and  requiring  very 
little  alteration  to  be  ready  for  publication.  In  1836,  at  the 
suggestion  of  a  friend,  he  began  German,  purchasing  a  diction¬ 
ary,  a  grammar,  and  a  set  of  Van  der  Velde’s  works.  Taking 
them  home,  he  sat  down  in  the  evening,  and  began  with  the 
title-page.  The  first  word  was  “die,”  which,  on  referring  to 
the  dictionary,  he  found  to  be  the  definite  article  “the”.  He 
wrote  down  the  word,  and  went  on  to  the  next,  which  was 
“wieder  taufer”.  He  turned  to  the  dictionary,  but  could  not

find  it.  Recollecting  that  many  words  in  German  are  com¬ 
pound.  he  looked  for  “wieder”,  and  found  that  it  meant  “again”. 
Then  looking  for  “taufer”,  he  found  that  it  meant  “baptizer”, 
and  said  to  himself  that  “wieder  taufer”  must  mean  re-baptizer, 
or  Anabaptist.  This  was  the  title  page.  He  thus  began  with 
the  first  sentence  of  the  texi.  and  before  retiring  to  rest  com¬ 
pleted  the  first  period  of  a  line  and  a  half.  This  was  about 
Christmas  time.  Every  evening  during  the  winter  he  went  on 
with  his  translation,  and  about  the  first  of  May  following  pub¬ 
lished  the  results  of  his  labors  in  two  duodecimo  volumes, 
entitled  “Tales  from  the  German”.  He  translated  about  fifty 
volumes,  many  of  which  have  been  published.  Such  literary 
perseverance  has  few  parallels.  Mr.  Greene  had  a  fine  poetic 
fancy.  Many  of  his  contributions  have  been  given  to  the  public 
over  the  signature  of  “Boscawen”,  choosing  the  place  of  his 
birth  as  his  nom  de  plume.  His  stanzas  entitled  “Petrarch  and 
Laura”,  published  in  the  Boston  Evening  Transcript,  are 
marked  with  smoothness  of  rhythm  and  delicate  sentiment. 
After  retiring  from  public  life,  Mr.  Greene  spent  a  long  period 
abroad,  traveling  through  Europe.  While  in  Paris,  iit  1852,  he 
received  intelligence  of  the  death  of  a  beloved  daughter,  who 
died  at  Panama  while  on  her  way  to  San  Francisco  to  establish 
a  home  of  the  Sisters  of  Charity,  to  which  order  she  had  be¬ 
come  attached.  The  father’s  heart,  wrung  with  grief,  found 
expression  in  a  feeling  poetic  tribute  to  her  memory.  Mr.

tened  home  and  offered  his  services  to  the  government.  He 
was  appointed  colonel  of  the  14th  Mass.  Volunteers,  which  he 
ably  drilled  as  a  heavy  artillery  regiment,  and  commanded  the 
line  of  fortifications  on  the  Potomac,  serving  with  distinction. 
Mr.  Nathaniel  Greene  d.  Nov.  29,  1877,  at  the  age  of  80  years 
and  5  months.  From  among  many  of  the  obituary  notices  of 
him  we  quote  the  following:  “Another  of  Boston’s  old  and 
distinguished  citizens  has  been  added  to  the  vanished  throng. 
Few  names  have  been  more  closely  identified  with  the  life  and 
interests  of  the  city  than  that  of  Nathaniel  Greene.  He  was 
eminently  a  successful  man.  He  handled  the  elements  that  lay 
before  him  with  judgment  and  with  vi.gor.  For  half  a  century 
his  career  was  one  of  great  activity,  and  it  yielded  results  upon 
which  he  might  well  pride  himself.  He  was  a  controlling  spirit, 
a  progressive  force,  in  those  circles  wherein  he  moved,  and  his 
name  will  be  remembered  as  long  as  the  events  of  the  Boston 
of  the  nineteenth  century  are  written  about  or  spoken  of.” 

Col.  William  Batchelder  Greene  was  b.  at  Haverhill, 
Mass.,  April  4.  1819,  and  d.  at  Westonsuper-Mare,  England. 
May  30,  1878,  age  59.  Obituaries  were  published  in  the  Boston 
Journal  and  Boston  Evening  Transcript.  June  3.  and  the  Boston 
Daily  Advertiser  and  Boston  Post,  June  4,  1878.  He  was  a  tal¬

Mass.,  Aug.  7,  1753;  m.  at  Newport,  in  Rhode  Island,  May  25,  1774,  Sarah  Par¬ 
sons.  She  was  the  daughter  of  Capt.  Parsons  of  Boston.  He  owned  a  sailing 
vessel  and  often  made  voyages  to  the  East  Indies  and  imported  large  quantities  of 
East  India  goods.  He  was  gone  for  three  years  on  one  trip,  and  his  family 
feared  he  had  been  lost,  but  he  returned  laden  with  goods.  She  was  b.  in  Rhode 
Island.  Dec.  4,  1754.  She  d.  Panton,  Vt.,  in  1802.  M.  2d.  1803,  Mrs.  Trypena 
Cameron  of  Vergennes,  Vt.;  she  d.  s.  p.  He  was  born  in  Lynn,  Mass.,  but  on 
attaining  his  majority  was  a  resident  of  the  state  of  Rhode  Island.  About  this 
time  the  shot  was  fired  at  Lexington  heard  round  the  world.  He  enlisted  in  tWe 
Continental  army  from  that  state  and  served  for  some  time  in  the  Rhode  Island 
state  troops.  An  effort  was  made  to  secure  the  record  of  service  of  Rupee  Bach- 
eller  from  Charles  P.  Bennett,  the  Secretary  of  State  of  Rhode  Island.  He  writes 
under  date  of  Jan.  25,  1897,  as  follows:  “We  have  looked  over  our  revolutionary 
records  and  are  unable  to  give  you  any  facts  in  regard  to  Rupee  Bacheller;  our 
early  records  were  all  destroyed  in  1812,  and  the  only  records  we  have  are  what 
muster  and  pay  rolls  we  have  been  able  to  gather  up.  I  think  the  pension  office 
in  Washington  could  give  you  some  information.’’ 

The  record  at  Washington,  D.  C.,  is  that  “Ruppe  Bachelder,  a  private  in  the 
Rhode  Island  state  troops,  was  granted  a  pension  of  $169.98  March  4,  1831,”  at 
which  time  he  was  said  to  have  been  82  years  of  age  and  a  resident  of  Addison 
County,  Vermont.”  It  is  probable  that,  having  served  in  the  Revolutionary  army, 
he  was  paid  for  his  services  either  in  Continental  money,  which  soon  depreciated, 
or  was  granted  land  in  Vermont  for  such.  He,  however,  resided  in  the  Green 
Mountain  State  from  a  short  time  after  the  war  until  his  death.  In  his  old  age 
he  resided  near  his  son-in-law,  Jesse  Grandey,  in  Panton,  Vt.,  and  died  at  his 
house  in  1842.  He  often  related  incidents  of  the  Revolution  and  how  he  helped 
thrash  the  Hessians.  He  d.  June  22,  1842.  Res.  Rhode  Island,  Hinesburg  and

Reading  on  the  old  Batchelder  place;  his  boyhood  and  youth 
were  spent  upon  the  farm.  After  arriving  at  the  age  of  manhood 
he  determined  to  acquire  a  liberal  education,  and  prepared  for 
college  at  the  academies  at  Bradford,  Alass,  and  .Atkinson,  N. 
H.  He  entered  Harvard  College  and  graduated  in  the  class  of 
1823.  After  graduation  he  continued  his  studies  in  special  lines 
and  for  a  time  took  charge  of  an  academy  at  Nantucket,  Mass. 
In  the  year  1827  he  became  principal  of  the  academy  in  Read¬ 
ing,  Mass.,  which  was  then  opened  in  a  building  also  used  by 
the  Unitarians  of  the  town  as  a  place  of  worship;  he  continued 
in  charge  of  this  school  till  1843,  when  Mr.  Wait  succeeded 
him.  He  afterwards  acted  as  an  instructor  in  languages,  both 
ancient  and  modern.  The  remaining  portion  of  his  life  he  passed 
in  his  native  town,  being  employed  in  public  affairs  and  in  bus-

iness  connected  with  the  settlement  of  estates  and  other  kin¬ 
dred  matters,  with  which  he  was  often  intrusted  on  account  of 
his  well  known  integrity  and  sound  judgment.  He  represented 
the  town  in  the  legislature  one  year  1832-3,  though  never 
an  active  politician.  His  political  opinions  were  in  very  strong 
sympathy  with  the  Whig  party  of  his  day.  He  served  as  select¬ 
man.  overseer  of  the  poor,  etc.,  for  several  years,  but  as  a  mem¬ 
ber  of  the  school  committee  his  record  was  remarkable.  He 
was  first  elected  to  that  position  in  1828  and  held  it,  in  all.  for 
30  years.  During  most  of  that  time  teachers  Were  selected  by 
the  prudential  committee  of  the  several  districts,  but  were  sub¬ 
ject  to  his  examination  and  approval.  Thorough  scholarship 
was  his  leading  idea.  Superficiality  and  shows  of  all  kinds  were 
always  distasteful  to  him.  His  work  in  the  schools  was  very 
valuable

same  shall  not  be  a  complete  and  entire  appointment  as  to  the  whole,  in  trust  for 
such  person  or  persons  of  the  blood  and  kindred  of  such  daughter,  as  would  be 
entitled  to  the  same,  by  virtue  of  the  statutes  of  distribution.  Provided  always, 
that  my  executors  shall  be  allowed  to  retain  from  time  to  time  such  sums  as  shall 
be  a  reasonable  compensation  for  their  expenses  and  charges  in  executing  the 
trusts  under  this  my  last  will  and  testament.  And  provided  also,  that  in  case  of  the 
death  of  my  executors,  or  of  their  refusing  to  accept,  or  resigning  the  trust  hereby

Batchelder  was  son  of  Zachariah  and  Polly  (Knowlton) 
Batchelder;  was  b.  in  Beverly,  Massachusetts,  gr.  Dartmouth 
College  1821:  practiced  at  Chichester  and  Wolfeborough ;  d. 
Wolfeborougb,  May  ii,  1869.  The  parents  of  Mr.  Batchelder 
removed  shortly  after  his  birth  to  Wendell,  now  Sunapee,  in 
that  state,  where  his  early  years  were  spent.  At  the  age  of  20 
he  became  a  pupil  in  Kimball  Union  Academy,  whence  the  next 
year  he  entered  college.  It  was  his  original  desire  to  qualify 
himself  for  the  ministry,  but  upon  mature  consideration  he  be¬ 
lieved  himself  better  adapted  to  some  other  calling.  The  three 
years  after  his  graduation  he  spent  in  teaching  at  Meredith, 
Salisbury,  Winchester,  and  Northfield,  Mass.;  at  the  same  time 
reading  law  partly  with  Samuel  S.  Wells  of  Salisbury,  and  in 
part  with  Benjamin  Kimball  of  Winchester.  He  began  to  prac¬ 
tice  in  Chichester,  where  he  remained  during  the  years  1827  and 
1828,  and  then  removed  to  Wolfeborough,  his  home  through 
life.  He  was  a  fine  scholar,  especially  in  Greek  and  mathe¬ 
matics,  holding  the  third  or  fourth  place  in  rank  in  his  class, 
and  he  never  lost  his  knowledge  by  neglect  afterwards.  As 
might  be  expected  he  was  a  well  read  and  accurate  lawyer.  He 
was  regular  in  his  habits  and  upright  in  his  conduct,  a  quiet, 
reserved  man,  who  made  no  display  of  his  capacity.  He  rarely 
argued  causes  in  court,  though  he  was  from  1841  to  1846  solic¬ 
itor  of  the  county.  He  never  married.

and  later  of  the  Massachusetts  General  Court.  His  early  life  was  spent  in  New

Ipswich,  whither  his  parents  had  removed,  and  in  1808  he  became  interested  in  a 
cotton  factory  at  this  place,  which  was  the  second  that  was  erected  in  New  Hamp¬ 
shire.  In  1825  he  removed  to  Lowell,  where  he  superintended  the  erection  of  the 
Hamilton  Company’s  mills.  In  1831  he  was  called  on  to  undertake  the  erection 
of  a  cotton-mill  for  the  York  Manufacturing  Company  in  Saco,  Me.,  and  to  super¬ 
intend  its  operations.  The  mills,  under  his  management,  were  very  successful, 
and  the  plant  and  capital  was  greatly  enlarged.  In  1846  he  removed  to  Cambridge, 
Mass.,  where  he  continued  to  reside,  and,  although  a  representative  in  the  Massa¬ 
chusetts  State  Legislature,  he  yet  for  many  years  continued  his  relations  with  the 
mills,  being  president  of  the  Hamilton  Manufacturing  Company,  the  Appleton 
Company,  the  Essex  Company,  the  Everett  Mills,  the  York  Manufacturing  Com¬ 
pany,  the  Exeter  Manufacturing  Company — having  an  aggregate  capital  of  $5,000,- 
000.  About  1832  he  devised  the  first  stop-motion  to  the  drawing-frame,  which 
has  since  been  used  in  this  country  and  England.  In  1832  he  patented  the  steam- 
cylinders  -and  connections  now  universally  used  in  dressing-frames  lor  drying 
yarns.  His  greatest  invention  was  the  dynamometer  used  for  ascertaining  the 
power  for  driving  machinery.  It  was  first  used  in  the  New  York  mills  in  1837, 
and  was  considered  preferable  to  any  known  apparatus  for  determining  the  power 
actually  used  in  driving  machinery.  In  early  life  he  contributed  to  the  “Boston 
Monthly  Anthology’’  and  to  the  “Port  Folio”,  and  he  was  the  author  of  the  "Re¬ 
sponsibilities  of  the  North  in  Relation  to  Slavery”  (Cambridge,  1856),  and  "Intro¬ 
duction  and  Early  Progress  of  the  Cotton  Manufacture  in  the  United  States” 
(Boston,  1863).  A  sketch  of  his  life  was  published  in  pamphlet  form  (Lowell, 
1885).  Among  the  many  appreciative  tributes  to  his  character  and  career,  the 
following,  from  the  Boston  Daily  Advertiser,  will  suffice:  “We  record  to-day  the 
close  of  a  life  as  remarkable  for  its  usefulness  as  for  its  length.  Mr.  Samuel 
Batchelder  was  one  of  the  pioneers  in  the  cotton  manufacturing  business  in  New 
England,  and  was  prominently  connected  with  it,  in  one  or  more  branches,  with 
scarcely  any  interruption  from  the  year  1808,  when  he  was  twenty-four  years  of 
age,  until  1870,  when  he  had  already  attained  the  venerable  age  of  eighty-si.x 
years — a  period  of  sixty-two  years.  During  this  long  term  he  enjoyed  without 
dispute  the  reputation  of  being  one  of  the  most  sagacious  and  successful  man¬ 
agers  in  the  country,  and  his  connection  with  various  enterprises  was  one  of 
almost  unvarying  profit.  What  is  specially  noteworthy  in  the  life  of  Mr.  Batchel¬ 
der  is  the  fact  that  from  the  start  he  was  a  man  of  science  and  invention.  He 
made  himself  acquainted  not  only  with  machinery,  but  he  also  mastered  its  princi¬ 
ples  and  forces,  and  added  from  time  to  time  improvements  of  his  own,  some  of 
which  he  patented,  but  most  of  which  he  contributed  voluntarily  to  the  art  he 
had  espoused.  He  not  only  kept  pace  with  the  markets  in  supplying  the  fabrics 
of  the  day,  but  made  himself  acquainted  with  the  wants  of  our  own  and  foreign 
markets,  so  that  many  styles  of  goods  which  he  designed  became  staple  articles' 
of  export  to  Hayti,  Brazil  and  even  India.  The  British  government  uniformed 
their  native  troops  in  India  with  goods  made  at  the  York  Mills.  Mr.  Batchelder 
was  very  much  more  than  a  successful  manufacturer.  He  was  a  many-sided  man. 
He  was  the  inventor  of  several  machines  which  are  still  in  use,  and  are  better 
than  anything  that  has  been  devised  to  supersede  them.  Moreover,  he  was  inter¬ 
ested  in  all  that  interests  men.  a  shrewd  observer  and  a  sagacious  counsellor.  He 
watched  public  affairs  with  intelligent  earnestness,  and  displayed  a  remarkable 
insight  in  reference  to  them.  Naturally  he  was  largely  concerned  with  the  eco¬ 
nomical  questions  which  came  up  from  time  to  time  in  Congress.  He  was  an 
ardent  and  unbending  advocate  of  the  policy  of  protection  to  .Kmerican  manu¬ 
factures.  His  views  on  this  and  other  subjects  he  set  forth  with  much  vigor  and 
clearness,  and  with  not  a  little  argumentative  power,  in  numerous  communications 
in  the  public  press.  He  was  the  author  of  a  well-written  and  most  interesting 
pamphlet  detailing  the  early  history  of  the  cotton  manufacture  in  the  United 
States,  written  in  1863.  when  the  author  was  already  near  his  eightieth  year.  A 
series  of  articles,  ten  in  number,  entitled  “Free  Trade  and  the  Tariff,”  were  pub¬ 
lished  in  the  newspapers  in  1861.  His  contributions  to  current  literature,  though 
not  very  frequent,  continued  almost  to  the  close  of  his  life.  Several  times  within 
the  past  year  he  has.  in  our  own  columns,  commented  upon  passing  events  with 
all  the  enthusiasm  of  youth,  but  also  with  the  sagacity  that  should  be  gained  with 
age  and  experience.  It  is  not  claiming  too  much  for  him  to  say  that  his  name 
should  be  placed  among  those  of  eminent  Americans.  His  life  was  in  only  a 


474

limited  sense  public,  but  his  success  shows  that  if  he  had  given  his  talents  a  differ¬ 
ent  direction  he  might  have  attained  exalted  station.  He  preferred  to  do  the 
duty  that  lay  before  him  in  that  department  of  usefulness  to  which  early  training 
and  natural  adaptability  directed  him.  He  did  that  duty  thoroughly  and  accept¬ 
ably,  and  his  memory  will  be  cherished  not  merely  by  his  relatives  and  friends, 
but  by  all  who  have  had  the  benefit,  during  a  long  term  of  years,  of  his  skill  and 
prudence  in  business.”  He  d.  Feb.  5,  1879.  Res.  New  Ipswich,  N.  H.,  Lowell,

Be  it  remembered  that  I,  Jonathan  Batchelder,  of  Beverly  in  the  county  of

hundred  and  twenty  two,  make  and  publish  this  my  last  will  and  testament  in 
manner  following,  that  is  to  say, 

I  give,  devise  and  bequeath  one  half  of  all  the  estate,  personal  and  real,  I  die 
possessed  of,  after  my  just  debts  are  paid,  to  my.  beloved  wife  Sally  Batchelder, 
and  the  other  half  to  my  beloved  daughter  Frances  Ellen  Batchelder  and  to  their

and  the  remaining  two  thirds  to  be  equally  divided  between  all  such  my  children* 
and,  should  I  have  but  one  child,  and  my  said  wife  Sally  should  marry  after  my 
decease  and  during  the  lifetime  of  that  child,  then  in  that  case  I  give,  devise  and

all  my  estate  aforesaid:  and  to  the  said  child  I  give,  devise  and  bequeath  two

July  5,  1825.  The  following  is  a  copy  of  his  will: 

In  the  name  of  God,  amen,  I,  George  Batchelder  of  Beverly  in  the  county  of 
Essex  and  commonwealth  of  Mass,  mariner,  being  by  the  blessings  of  divine 
providence  of  sound  and  disposing  mind  and  memory  and  in  enjoyment  of  good 
measure  of  bodily  health,  but  considering  the  uncertainty  of  human  life,  do  make 
and  publish  this  my  last  will  and  testament,  in  manner  and  form  following,  that 
is  to  say.  In  the  first  place,  my  will  is  that  my  just  debts  and  funeral  charges  be 
paid  by  my  executrix  herein  after  named. 

Item.  I  give,  devise  and  bequeath  unto  my  beloved  wife  Sally  Batchelder  all 
my  estate  real  and  personal,  which  I  may  leave  at  my  decease,  wheresoever  the 
same  may  be,  to  be  at  her  absolute  disposal  during  her  natural  life,  with  full  power 
and  authority  to  sell  and  convey,  whenever  she  shall  think  proper  and  to  make, 
execute  and  acknowledge,  seal  and  deliver,  good  and  sufficient  deeds  for  the 
absolute  sale  and  conveyance,  in  fee  simple  or  otherwise,  of  all  the  real  estate 
which  I  may  leave  at  my  decease  or  of  any  part  or  parts  thereof  and  to  use  expend 
and  dispose  of  the  proceeds  of  such  sale  or  sales,  and  of  all  and  every  part  of  my 
estate,  real  and  personal  which  I  may  leave,  as  she  in  her  discretion  may  think 
meet  and  proper,  at  all  times,  during  her  natural  life. 

Item.  My  will  is  further,  that,  if  at  the  time  of  the  decease  of  my  said  wife 
there  should  be  any  of  my  estate,  real  or  personal  remaining  unexpended,  unsold 
or  undisposed  of  by  her  during  her  life,  then  and  in  that  case  only  I  give,  devise 
and  bequeath  unto  my  brother  Jonathan  Batchelder  of  said  Beverly  mariner,  all 
and  every  part  of  my  estate  so  remaining,  to  have  and  to  hold  to  him,  his  heirs, 
and  assigns  forever.  And  lastly  I  do  constitute  and  ordain  my  said  wife  sole 
executrix  of  this  my  last  will  and  testament. 

In  testimony  whereof  I  do  hereunto  set  my  hand  and  seal  this  fifth  day  of

her  parents  from  Templeton,  Mass.,  to  Lynn,  when  in  her  in¬ 
fancy.  At  the  age  of  nine  she  entered  the  Lynn  Academy  and 
remained  until  her  father  took  charge  of  the  new  high  school. 
She  entered  that  school  at  its  beginning,  still  under  his  tutor¬ 
ship  and  was  graduated  at  the  close  of  the  prescribed  course  of 
three  years.  The  same  year  she  began  a  private  school  for  chil¬ 
dren.  and  in  1856,  when  her  father  assumed  the  principalship  of 
the  high  school  in  Salem,  she  was  appointed  an  assistant  in  the 
same  school,  and  remained  there  during  his  term  of  service,  re¬ 
turning  to  Lynn  when  he  did,  after  which  she  received  private 
pupils  from  the  summer  residents  at  the  seashore  here.  She 
also  assisted  her  father  in  his  duties  as  Collector  and  Librarian, 
until  she  accepted  a  situation  as  accountant  in  one  of  the  local 
manufactories,  where  she  remained  until  in  1868,  she  was  urged 
to  go  as  a  teacher  to  the  South,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Sol¬ 
diers’  Memorial  Society  in  Boston.  She  went  to  Richmond, 
Va.,  and  taught  colored  children  in  charge  of  the  Freedmen’s 
Bureau,  until  the  school  was  disbanded,  and  then  she  taught  in 
one  of  Boston’s  schools  for  the  poor  whites.  She  remained  at 
the  South  for  two  years,  after  which  she  again  tried  bookkeep¬ 
ing,  occupying  the  same  position  for  ten  years,  when  she  re¬ 
linquished  it  to  care  for  her  mother,  who  had  become  an  in¬ 
valid.  Since  her  death  she  is  the  “old  maid’’  sister,  and  aunt, 
ready  to  fill  up  gaps  and  give  her  care  wherever  needed.  Her 
branch  of  the  family  was  especially  patriotic.  At  the  time,  1861, 
when  her  brothers  entered  the  army,  her  uncles,  the  four  broth¬ 
ers  of  her  father,  were  enlisted  in  different  regiments — a  good 
military  record.

an  early  age  he  entered  the  Lynn  Academy  under  the  tuition  of 
his  father,  and  completed  his  studies  through  the  re.gular  course 
at  the  high  school,  graduating  therefrom  in  1854.  He  was  pre¬ 
pared  for  a  mercantile  life  and  very  soon  entered  a  situation  in 
Boston,  and  in  that  and  similar  positions  he  remained  for  seven 
years,  when  he  went  to  South  America  as  clerk  in  a  mercantile

house,  but  as  this  proved  uncongenial  and  impracticable,  he  re¬ 
turned  to  his  home  in  Salem  just  before  the  attack  upon  Fort 
Sumpter,  and  at  once  connected  himself  with  the  Salem  Zou¬ 
aves,  and  devoted  himself  to  the  thorough  and  systematic  drill 
for  which  the  company  was  so  famous,  in  preparation  for  com¬ 
ing  events.  He  and  his  brother  enlisted  with  the  company  for 
the  service  of  their  country,  and  on  the  i8th  of  April  they  were 
transferred  from  a  regiment  of  Home  Guards  to  the  patriotic 
8th  Mass.  Reg’t.,  and  hastened  to  the  defence  of  the  Capitol. 
Their  career,  while  attached  to  and  sharing  in  the  eventful  cam¬ 
paign  of  the  famous  8th,  constitutes  one  of  the  brightest  chap¬ 
ters  in  the  history  of  the  Civil  War.  At  the  expiration  of  the 
three  months’  term  of  service  he  enlisted  as  private  in  a  com¬ 
pany  of  Cavalry,  which  subsequently  formed  a  part  of  Butler’s 
famous  expedition  to  the  Gulf.  He  went  out  in  the  old  frigate 
Constitution  to  Ship  Island,  and  thence  to  New  Orleans,  where 
the  company  shared  in  all  the  fortunes  of  the  expedition.  He 
was  present  at  the  hanging  of  Mumford  and  formed  a  part  of 
the  guard  at  that  time — h^  was  sent  out  against  the  Guerillas-j- 
and  was  always  industrious  and  faithful,  never  shirking  his 
duties,  particularly  during  the  battle  of  Baton  Rouge.  From  the 
effects  of  fatigue  induced  by  his  arduous  duties  at  that  battle, 
being  before  weakened  by  indisposition,  he  never  rallied,  and 
soon  after  his  return  to  New  Orleans  he  was  seized  with  typhoid 
fever  and  died  at  St.  James’  Hospital,  in  that  city.  He  had  been 
commissioned  as  first  lieut.  of  his  company,  but  did  not  live  to 
be  mustered  into  that  service.

1862.  George  Wellington  Batchelder  was  born  in  Lynn,  Dec. 
20,  1838.  He  also  was  educated  under  his  father’s  tuition  in  the 
academy  and  high  school.  He  was  prepared  for  college  in  the 
latter  school,  and  entered  Harvard  College  in  1855  and  was 
graduated  in  1859.  He  endeavored  to  obtain  a  situation  as 
teacher,  before  entering  upon  the  study  of  his  chosen  profession 
— the  law — but  not  at  once  succeeding,  he  entered  the  law  office 
of  Messrs. 'Peny  &  Endicott  in  Salem, and  remained  until  the  out-' 
break  of  the  Civil  War,  when  with  the  Salem  Zouaves  he  has¬ 
tened  to  the  defense  of  the  Capitol.  He  returned  from  his  three 
months’  term  of  service  Aug.  i,  and  on  the  3d  of  the  same  month 
he  enlisted  for  three  years  in  the  19th  Mass.  Reg’t.  He  was  af¬ 
terwards  commissioned  as  first  lieut.  in  that  regiment,  and  on 
Aug.  28,  left  for  the  seat  of  war.  In  Jan.  1862,  he  came  to  his 
home  on  a  brief  furlough  and  was  promoted  to  a  captaincy  in 
the  same  regiment.  He  passed  unscathed  through  all  the  bloody 
conflicts  on  the  Peninsula  during  that  summer,  until  the  san¬ 
guinary  battle  of  Antietam,  Sept.  17.  1862,  he  received  fatal 
wounds  from  the  effects  of  which  he  expired  the  same  evening. 
Kindly  hands  bore  home  his  body  to  the  city  of  his  birth,  and 
after  awaiting  the  return  of  his  brother  from  New  Orleans,  on 
Nov.  5,  1862,  the  brothers  were  laid  at  rest  by  soldiers  and  com¬ 
rades  in  one  grave,  in  Pine  Grove  Cemetery,  in  Lynn.

1884.  Eben  Batcbeller  was  b.  in  Vermont  in  1802,  and  moved,  when  seven  years 
of  age,  to  Lowville,  N.  Y.,  where  he  lived  until  after  his  marriage,  after  which  he 
bought  a  piece  of  land  on  what  w'as  known  as  John  Brown's  Tract,  moving  from 
there  to  Port  Huron,  Mich.,  in  1834,  and  built  a  mill  on  Black  river,  about  seven 
miles  from  Port  Huron.  It  was  in  1840  that  he  moved  to  Wisconsin  and  had  a 
farm  and  stopping  place  nine  miles  from  Watertown,  Jefferson  county,  town  of 
Ixonia;  from  there  he  moved  to  a  farm  in  Winnebago  Co.,  in  '47  or  ’48.  In  1855 
he  moved  to  Galesville,  Trempealeau  county,  living  there  until  i860,  when  he 
moved  to  a  farm  a  few  miles  away;  in  1870  or  ’71  he  moved  back  to  Galesville, 
where  he  lived  until  June,  1876,  and  accidentally  met  his  death,  and  is  buried  in  the, 
cemetery  there.  He  learned  his  trade  as  a  millwright  with  his  father,  going  with 
him  to  what  was  called  the  Grand  Ottawa  in  Canada,  when  18  years  of  age,  and 
always  followed  his  trade,  until  about  i860.  He  had  charge  of  and  built  the 
Rough  and  Ready  mill  at  Watertown,  the  mill  at  Waukati,  one  at  West  Salem,  and 
the  ones  at  Galesville,  both  grist  and  saw,  and  repaired  a  great  many.  He  always 
took  great  pride  in  his  work  and  was  greatly  interested  in  the  various  improve¬ 
ments  going  on  in  his  line.  Was  a  Whig  in  politics  but  joined  the  Republican 
party  on  its  organization,  and  never  voted  any  other  ticket.  He  was  a  great  lover 
of  hunting  deer,  and  that  undoubtedly  had  much  influence  on  his  moving  to  a  new 
country  as  often  as  he  did.  He  belonged  to  no  religious  sect  but  was  very  par¬ 
ticular  that  his  children  did  not  scoff  at  or  in  any  way  disturb  any  one  who  did.

1821;  d.  July  1851.  The  subject  of  our  sketch  was  b.  at  Lowville.  N.  Y.  His  par¬ 
ents  came  originally  from  Worcester  Co.,  Mass.,  had  lived  for  a  time  in  Vermont, 
thence  moved  to  the  state  of  New  York.  At  an  early  age  Mr.  B.  was  apprenticed 
to  a  man  in  Prescott,  Canada,  to  learn  the  wagonmakers’  trade.  He  learned  it 
thoroughly  as  the  character  of  his  work  afterwards  testified.  He  very  much  dis¬ 
liked  the  work.  In  1836  he  moved  to  Port  Huron,  Mich.,  and  worked  at  various 
things,  principally  millwright  work,  until  he  set  up  a  wagon-shop  and  engaged 
in  the  pursuit  of  the  business  he  disliked.  In  1842  he  was  married  at  Detroit, 
Mich.,  to  Miss  Martha  Mason.  He  continued  in  business  in  Port  Huron  until 
the  spring  of  1850,  when  he,  with  several  other  Port  Huron  people,  started  across 
the  plains  for  California.  Mr.  B.  did  not  go  with  the  party  from  Port  Huron, 
but  joined  them  at  St.  Joseph,  Mo.  The  trip  was  made  in  a  wagon  made  during 
the  winter  of  1849-50  by  Mr.  B.  for  the  trip.  On  the  way  to  join  the  party  he 
was  burned  out  on  a  steamboat  on  the  Ohio  river  and  escaped  with  his  gun  and 
the  clothing  he  had  on,  losing  all  of  the  clothing  prepared  for  the  stay  in  Cali¬ 
fornia.  He  nevertheless  pushed  on.  After  a  stay  of  a  little  over  two  years  in 
California,  during  which  time  he  had  been  moderately  successful,  be  returned  to 
Port  Huron.  His  wife  had  died  during  his  absence,  leaving  two  children  in  the 
care  of  Mr.  B.’s  mother.  After  a  short  time  spent  in  the  grocery  and  feed  busi¬ 
ness  he  engaged,  in  1854,  in  sawmill  business  with  the  late  John  Howard,  Sr., 
and  Henry  Howard,  his  son,  the  partnership  or,  rather,  ownership  of  mill  con¬ 
tinued  up  to  i860,  when  Mr.  B.  bought  out  the  interest  of  his  partners  and  con¬ 
tinued  in  the  lumber  business  in  Port  Huron  until  1875,  building  during  that  time 
a  new  mill.  He  removed  to  Saginaw  in  1878,  where  he  and  his  son,  in  connection 
with  Mr.  David  Whitney  of  Detroit,  built  and  operated  a  mill  and  salt  w'orks, 
one  of  the  largest  on  the  river.  He  continued  in  this  business  till  the  time  of  his 
death.  Jan.  3,  1892.  Mr.  B.  was  80  years  and  6  months  old  at  the  time  of  his 
death,  and  up  to  his  last  sickness,  which  only  lasted  one  week,  was  noted  for  his 
vigor  of  mind  and  body.  Mr  B.  was  a  natural  mechanic,  and  was  noted  for 
the  thorough  manner  in  which  all  mechanical  work  with  which  he  was  connected 
was  done.  It  was  often  said  by  the  old  inhabitants  of  Port  Huron  that  the 
reason  he  could  not  make  any  money  making  wagons  was  because  he  made 
them  too  well;  and  one  of  the  owners  of  some  of  his  work  exhibited  to  the 
writer  a  sleigh  and  cart  which  were  thirty  years  old  and  still  in  condition  for 
use.  Mr.  B.  never  desired  public  office,  and  rather  avoided  the  same,  but  was 
forced  to  accept  some  positions  of  trust  and  public  service  by  his  fellow-towns¬ 
men.  He  was  always  active,  very  methodical  in  all  his  doings,  and  for  the  later 
years  of  his  life  people  who  knew  him  told  the  time  of  the  morning  by  seeing 
him  pass  on  his  way  down  to  business.  In  looks  and  general  build  he  was  said 
to  have  the  characteristics  of  the  Batchelor  family.  He  d.  Jan.  3,  1892.  Res.

Golia,  b.  May  27,  1813,  d.  in  Batchellerville,  N.  Y.,  Jan.  6,  1886.  Samuel  Batchel- 
ler  was  b.  in  the  town  of  Stratton,  Vt.,  Sept.  18,  1806.  When  he  was  two  years 
old  his  parents  removed  t*'  the  town  of  Edinburgh,  Saratoga  County,  New  York. 
He  received  only  the  scan  education  of  the  common  school  of  that  new  country. 
His  business  life  was  a  school  to  him,  so  that  at  sixty  years  of  age  he  was  called 
an  educated  man.  He,  in  company  with  an  older  brother  (Sherman  Batcheller), 
engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  wooden  ware,  and  built  up  a  village  around  them, 
whose  inhabitants  were  noted  for  their  intelligence  and  public  spirit.  At  first 
their  wares  went  to  Albany  by  team  and  down  the  Hudson  river  by  sloop  to  New 
York.  He  was  engaged  in  Ciis  business  all  his  life,  or  till  he  was  seventy  years 
old.  His  energy  and  tact  insured  him  success  in  his  business,  and  to-day  his 
name  is  a  synonym  for  honest}'  in  all  that  region.  In  politics  he  was  an  ardent 
Whig  till  1856,  since  which  time  he  voted  the  Republican  ticket.  He  was  too 
busy  to  hold  office,  yet  his  friends  compelled  him  to  be  a  candidate  for  Supervisor, 
and  he  was  elected,  the  first  Whig  Supervisor  of  the  town  of  Edinburgh.  The  last 
two  years  of  his  life  were  spent  with  his  daughter,  Mrs.  Isaac  Noyes,  in  Waterloo, 
Nebraska,  where  he  died.  The  remains  were  interred  in  the  family  lot  in  Batchel¬ 
lerville,  N.  Y'.  He  d.  in  Waterloo,  Neb.,  April  20,  1888.  Res.  Batchellerville,

Noyes  was  born  in  Batchellerville,  Saratoga  County,  New  York, 
Jan.  9,  1828.  His  parents  came  from  southern  Vermont  and 
settled  in  that  county  in  1807,  being  pioneers  in  that  new  coun- 
'  try,  where  it  required  all  the  energy,  industry  and  economy  of 

the  old  Puritanic  stock  to  clear  away  the  forest  and  support  a 
family  on  a  farm.  He  was  educated  in  the  common  schools 
and  in  the  State  Normal  School  of  Albany,  N.  Y.  He  came  to 
Nebraska  in  the  spring  of  1857,  and  pre-empted  160  acres  of 
land  and  purchased  adjoining  land,  which  constitutes  the  farm 
on  which  he  now  resides.  In  1859  he  returned  to  New  York 
and  married  Miss  Addie  T.,  daughter  of  Samuel  Batcheller,  a 
prominent  citizen  and  manufacturer  of  wooden  ware.  The  war 
coming  on,  he  remained  in  the  East  and  engaged  in  the  manu¬ 
facture  of  wooden  ware  until  the  spring  of  1879,  when  he  carne 
to  Nebraska  to  remain  permanently.  He  came  from  Democratic 
stock,  but  when  that  party  attempted  to  fasten  slavery  upon 
^  Kansas  and  Nebraska  he  became  an  ardent  Republican  and 

voted  for  John  C.  Fremont  in  1856.  Since  that  time_  he  has 
been  an  active  worker  for  the  success  of  Republican  principles, 
especially  for  protection  to  American  industries  and  American 
labor.  In  1864  he  was  elected  Supervisor  of  his  native  town, 
and  was  obliged  to  give  his  time  entirely  to  the  enlistment  of 
soldiers  to  fill  the  quota  of  that  town  under  the  last  call  of 
President  Lincoln.  In  1875  he  was  elected  member  of  Assem¬ 
bly  from  the  Second  District  of  Saratoga  County,  New  York, 
which  included  Saratoga  Springs.  The  next  year  he  was  re¬ 
elected.  In  both  sessions  he  was  chairman  of  the  Committee 
on  Villages.  Since  coming  to  Nebraska  he  has  lived  on  the 
farm  on  which  he  now  resides — one  of  the  largest  and  best  iri 
the  county  of  Douglas.  In  1892  he  seemed  to  be  the  choice  of 
the  Republicans  of  Douglas  County  as  candidate  for  Governor 
of  the  State;  but  while  the  second  ballot  was  being  taken  he  was

called  to  the  platform,  and  at  the  close  of  a  short  speech  he 
withdrew  his  name  in  the  interest  of  Governor  Crounse.  In 
1893  he  was  elected  State  Senator  to  fill  a  vacancy  caused  by 
the  death  of  Senator  Clarke.  In  1894  he  was  re-elected  Senator 
from  Douglas  County  by  a  plurality  of  about  4,000.  His  ances¬ 
tors  were  Presbyterians,  his  grandfather  and  father  having  been 
elders  in  that  church.  He  is  now  an  elder  in  the  Presbyteriap 
Church  of  Waterloo,  yet  he  believes  in  the  largest  liberty  of 
conscience  and  a  union  of  effort  among  all  Christians  to  evan¬

p.  1885.  Ambrose  Rensellaer  Batcheller  was  born  in  the  town  of  Edinburgh,  Sara¬ 
toga  County,  N.  Y.,  on  the  13th  of  October,  1817.  His  education  was  received  at 
the  district  school  before  his  thirteenth  year.  After  that  he  joined  his  father  and 
two  older  brothers,  Samuel  and  Sherman,  in  the  manufacture  of  measures,  which 
at  that  time  was  all  done  by  hand.  Soon  after  the  death  of  his  father,  his  brothers 
and  himself  built  a  factory  on  the  banks ’of  a  mountain  stream  (where  machinery 
was  first  used  in  making  measures).  Soon  after,  one  brother  (Sherman)  left  the 
firm,  and  built  a  new  factory  just  below  on  the  same  stream,  where  he  manufact¬ 
ured  flour-pails,  sap-buckets,  etc.  The  village  which  soon  sprung  up  there  was 
called  Batchellerville.  The  nearest  market  in  those  early  days  was  Albany.  He  always 
claimed  in  after  life  that  his  greatest  joy  of  his  early  life  was  when  it  came  his  turn 
to  take  a  load  of  measures  to  market,  and  bring  back  a  load  of  provisions.  At  the 
age  of  twenty  he  married  Betsy  Graves,  who  bore  him  two  sons,  John  G.  and  Oli¬ 
ver  A.  Soon  after  the  birth  of  Oliver  his  wife  died,  and  on  Dec.  10,  1843.  he  mar¬ 
ried  Emily  Smith,  who  in  1853  bore  him  his  son  Albert  R.  About  1870  he  prac¬ 
tically  retired  from  active  business.  As  a  business  man  he  was  honest  and  straight¬ 
forward,  and  had  the  confidence  of  all.  As  a  citizen  and  neighbor  he  was  highly 
esteemed.  He  was  a  consistent  member  of  the  Presbyterian  church,  and  in  poli¬ 
tics  was  a  staunch  Republican  from  the  birth  of  that  party.  He  died  in  1889  at  the 
age  of  seventy-two  years,  in  the  same  house  where  he  had  lived  for  more  than  fifty 
years.  He  d.  Sept.  23,  1889.  Res.  Batchellerville,  N.  Y.

Alexander,  b.  .\ug.  6,  1882.  Robert  Alexander,  a  prominent  law¬ 
yer  of  Philadelphia,  was  born  in  Bucks  County,  Pennsylvania. 
He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  1871,  since  which  time  he  has  acted 
as  counsel  and  taken  part  in  arguments  in  many  of  the  leading 
cases  that  have  been  of  late  years  before  the  Pennsylvania 
courts.  In  1844  lie  was  appointed  First  Assistant  Solicitor. 
During  his  term  of  duty  in  this  position  Mr.  Ale.xander  took 
an  active  part  in  the  new  adjustment  of  municipal  affairs  made 
necessary  by  the  requirements  of  the  Bullitt  Bill,  which  required 
all  the  legal  ability.  During  the  period  of  Mr.  Alexander’s  serv¬ 
ice  many  matters  of  litigation  to  which  the  city  was  a  party  fell 
into  his  hands,  all  of  which  he  handled  with  the  skill  and  ability 
for  which  he  is  noted.  After  spending  six  years  in  the  office 
of  City  Solicitor,  Mr.  Alexander  withdrew  from  official  service 
and  returned  to  his  private  practice,  which  demanded  all  his 
time  and  attention.  A  notable  instance  of  his  legal  service  was 

1384-  ii- 

his  connection  with  the  Bardsley  case,  in  which  he  acted  as 
counsel  for  the  derelict  City  Treasurer,  whose  case  he  handled 
with  a  fine  ability  and  judgment  that  won  the  admiration  of 
his  opponents  at  the  bar,  and  excited  the  deep  and  earnest 
attention  of  the  general  community.  As  a  lawyer  Mr.  Alex¬ 
ander  is  well  read,  abundantly  trained  and  thoroughly  equipped 
in  his  profession.  Sound  in  judgment,  clear  in  arrangement 
and  logical  in  argument,  he  is  strong  alike  before  the  court 
and  the  jury,  and  holds  a  high  position  at  the  Philadelphia  bar.

moved  to  Boston  and  entered  the  employ  of  Pierce  Bros.  &  Co.,  in  their  whole¬ 
sale  dry  goods  house.  He  was  very  fond  of  military  matters  and  at  one  time  was 
captain  of  the  Boston  Light  Infantry  and  later  commanded  the  Sixth  Battalion  of 
Rifles.  When  the  Civil  War  broke  out  the  four  companies  in  this  battalion  formed

served  in  that  position  until  the  expiration  of  his  term  of  service.  He  returned  to

ing  in  the  summer  and  attending  school  in  the  winter.  When  about  16  his  eldest 
brother  Albert,  who  had  been  for  some  time  in  Boston,  sent  for  him  to  come  to 
that  cit3'.  There  he  entered  into  the  employ  of  his  uncle  Charles  Foster,  who  kept 
a  restaurant  on  Sudbury  street.  After  the  death  of  this  uncle  the  firm  dissolved 
and  he  was  for  some  years  variously  employed  until  1867.  when  he  went  to  Iowa. 
He  remained  there  but  a  short  time,  when  he  returned  to  Boston  and  again  en¬ 
gaged  in  the  restaurant  business,  which  was  destroyed  by  the  great  fire  of  1872,

Bradford  Batchelder.  second  son  of  Joseph  and  Anne  (Cochran)  Batchelder,  was 
b.  in  \'ermont,  passing  his  early  years  on  his  father’s  farm  in  that  state.  Having  a 
desire  for  a  different  life,  at  the  age  of  17  he  apprenticed  himself  to  a  jeweler  in 
Boston,  but  before  completing  his  trade  was  obliged  by  severe  illness  to  return 
home.  Three  years  after  his  marriage  to  Louisa  Ann  Farnsworth,  tiring  of  farm¬ 
ing  among  the  hills  and  stones,  he  took  his  v\  ife  and  year  old  child  (Emma)  in 
company  with  his  father's  family,  to  the  wilds  of  Illinois — Thorn  Grove,  30  miles 
south  of  Chicago.  His  was  the  first  frame  house  in  that  locality  and  though  not 
large  was  dignified  by  the  name  of  “Tavern."  Four  years  were  passed  in  this  rural 
life,  when  he  removed  to  the  growdng  “village"  of  Chicago,  purchasing  a  residence 
lot,  122  Wells  St..  30x80  feet,  for  $175.  being  on  the  very  edge  of  the  improved  part 
of  the  town,  though  between  Washington  and  Madison  Sts.  Here,  for  a  time,  he 
was  clerk  in  the  store  of  Hamilton  &  White.  Later  on  was  for  years  a  botanic 
physician,  doing  good  service  during  the  dread  cholera  seasons.  He  was  quite  a 
bible  student,  though  never  accepting  the  orthodox  interpretation  thereof.  He 
was  a  man  of  strict  integrity,  honest  and  honorable  in  his  dealings;  genial,  affable, 
making  many  friends  among  the  early  settlers;  a  man  of  refined  tastes  and  good 
and  temperate  habits,  and  clear  sighted  in  usiness  matters.  He  was  an  unfortu¬ 
nate  participant  in  the  terrors  of  the  great  Chicago  fire  of  1871,  never  fully  recover¬ 
ing  from  the  shock;  his  income  swept  away,  many  friends  made  homeless.  He 
was  from  this  time  physically  and  mentally  unfittecl  for  any  active  business.  The 
property  he  had  acquired  had  made  him  quite  wealthy.  Having  lost  his  wife  and

30  miles  southeast  of  Chicago.  There  he  lived  on  a  farm  with 
his  parents,  attending  the  district  school  (a  notably  good  one  for 
those  days)  till  15  years  of  age,  when  he  received  an  invitation 
from  an  uncle,  Dr.  Harvey  Burritt  of  Maumee  City,  O..  which 
he  gladly  accepted,  becoming  a  member  of  his  household,  when 
he  took  his  first  lessons  in  business  in  his  uncle’s  drug  store,  af¬ 
terward  spent  a  time  in  the  same  busines,  with  Hon.  Jas.  M. 
Ashley  in  Toledo.  From  here  he  returned  to  Illinois,  where  he 
w'as  assistant  mail  agent  on  the  I.  C.  R.  R.,  for  a  short  time, 
when  he  secured  employment  as  station  agent  at  Mattoon,  but 
within  the  year  taking  a  place  as  clerk  in  the  freight  office  of  the 
old  G.  &  C.  U.  Ry.  in  Chicago  During  this  year  having  just 
attained  to  his  majority,  he  was  married  to  Emma  Annette,  eld¬ 
est  daughter  of  Dr.  J.  B.  Batchelder.  When  scarcely  settled  in 
their  unpretentious  cottage  on  the  North  Side,  he  was  offered 
Rockford  station,  and  the  young  couple  “staid  not  on  the  order 
of  their  going.”  Seven  years  spent  in  this  beautiful  city  were 
years  of  experience  and  growth.  He  and  his  wife  became  iden¬ 
tified  with  the  Unitarian  Society  and  soon  made  many  friends. 
Here  he  was  made  Mason,  taking  an  active  interest  in  that  order 
from  this  time  on.  Next  he  held  the  same  position  with  the 
same  railroad  at  Belvidere,  being  also  American  Express  Agent. 
Here  both  were  active  in  the  Universalist  Society.  He  was 
High  Priest  of  the  Chapter  of  R.  A.  Masons  here  for  several 
years.  At  the  end  of  six  years  a  desirable  situation  was  offered 
him,  which  he  gladly  accepted,  as  local  agent  for  the  C.  &  N.  W. 
road,  also  the  R.  I.  &  St.  L.,  at  the  thriving  city  of  Sterling. which 
position  lie  acceptably  filled  for  three  years,  gaining  the  esteem 
and  confidence  of  the  citizens  of  the  place.  Then  came  a  well 
earned  promotion  on  the  same  railroad  as  local  and  general 
freight  agent  of  the  Winona  &  St.  Peter  Division,  with  head¬ 
quarters  at  Winona,  Minn.,  where  a  delightful  summer  was  spent 
(with  his  wife  and  four  children).  In  the  autumn  the  company 
favored  his  taking  a  position  as  superintendent  of  their  Penin¬ 
sular  Division,  with  his  office  and  residence  at  Escanaba,  Mich. 
This  he  accepted,  though  rather  against  his  best  judgment,  the 
increase  of  salary  being  small  compensation  for  the  lack  of  edu¬ 
cational  facilities.  The  next  spring — May  1875 — Mr.  Mulliken 
took  a  position  in  Detroit  as  superintendent  of  the  Detroit,  Lan¬ 
sing  &  Lake  Michigan  Railroad,  and  later  on  was  made  general 
manager  of  the  same  road,  the  name  being  changed  to  the  De¬ 
troit,  Lansing  &  Northern,  also  the  Chicago  &  West  Michigan 
road  and  the  St.  Louis  &  Saginaw  Valley,  many  branches  and 
connecting  lines  being  added  to  these  under  his  management. 
On  his  retirement  from  this  position  many  of  the  leading  citi¬ 
zens,  railroad  and  business  men  from  various  parts  of  the  state 
united  in  giving  him  a  grand  reception,  showing  the  good  es¬ 
teem  in  which  he  was  held  He  was  also  the  recipient  of  valu¬ 
able  presents,  among  them  a  large  and  costly  “Grandfather’s” 
clock,  with  the  names  of  the  donors  (all  employes)  engraven  on 
the  face  or  a  plate:  thus  showing  their  friendship  for  him.  This 
position  he  held  till  near  the  time  of  his  death — nearly  twenty 
years.  Res.  91  Farnsworth  St.,  Detroit,  Mich.  Ch:  (i)  Frank

was  of  the  Orthodox  faith.  He  was  often  engaged  in  controversy  with  the  en¬

monthly  has  the  following  obituary  of  Mrs.  Charlotte  Bachellor 
Thomas:  "Again  the  ranks  of  the  veterans  in  our  missionary 
service  are  broken.  Mrs.  Thomas  died  June  14,  at  the  home  of 
her  son.  Rev.  Willis  F.  Thomas, .  Insein.  Burma,  at  the  age  of 
sixty-five  years.  Miss  Charlotte  Bachellor  was  a  native  of  Bos¬ 
ton,  and  was  married  to  Rev.  Benjamin  C.  Thomas  in  1850,  sail¬ 
ing  with  him  for  Burma  Oct.  15  of  the  same  year,  in  the  ship 
“Soldan,”  Capt.  Plummer,  but  they  did  not  reach  their  field  of 
labor  at  Tavoy  until  May  i,  1851.  On  the  opening  of  a  mission 
station  at  Henzada,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Thomas  removecl  to  that  field 
and  became  the  founders  of  the  Karen  work,  which  yet  bears 
the  impress  of  their  faithfulness  and  devotion.  Too  long  and 
unremittingly  did  they  cling  to  their  loved  work,  and  when  at 
last  they  were  forced  to  return  to  America,  Mrs.  Thomas  landed 
in  New  York  with  her  husband,  June  8,  1868,  only  to  see  him 
pass  from  her  two  days  later,  worn  beyond  recovery  by  his  se¬ 
vere  and  protracted  labors  in  the  jungles  of  Burma.  For  sev- 
•.  '■■■  '  eral  years  Mrs.  Thomas  remained  in  this  country  caring  for  her

son,  hilt  in  1874  she  returned  to  Henzada  to  resume  her  position 
as  the  ‘'mother”  of  the  mission.  Her  wise  and  quiet  counsels 
were  an  inestimable  blessing  to  the  native  converts,  and  safely 
guided  the  mission  when,  as  sometimes  occurred,  no  male  mis¬ 
sionary  was  stationed  at  Henzada.  She  was  the  first  to  begin 
mission  labors  among  the  Chins.  In  1889,  Mrs.  Thomas  again 
visited  America,  returning  to  Burma  in  1892.  During  her  last 
visit,  she  became  widely  known  to  Baptists  in  several  sections 
of  this  country  and,  although  always  quiet  and  retiring  in  her 
manners,  she  made  a  profound  and  favorable  impression  in  the 
interest  of  missions  wherever  she  went.  The  last  few  years  have 
been  passed  in  the  home  of  her  son,  now  at  the  head  of  the 
Burman  Department  of  the  Theological  Seminary  at  Insein.  On 
her  return,  Mrs.  Thomas  was  not  strong,  but  Burma  had  become 
her  home.  Her  chief  interests  on  earth  were  there,  and  there 
she  preferred  to  pass  the  remainder  of  her  earthly  life.  Now  she 
has  begun  the  life  of  eterna'  strength  and  joy.  In  a  very  rare 
degree  was  the  life  of  Mrs.  Thomas  absorbed  in  her  missionary 
work.  She  was  a  fit  mate  to  her  husband  who  sacrificed  his  life 
on  the  altar  of  service  for  Christ  among  the  brethren,  and  a  fit 
mother  to  her  son  who  has  become  one  of  the  most  variously 
and  widely  useful  of  the  missionary  staf¥  of  Burma.  Her  natural 
disposition  was  modest  and  retiring,  but  zeal  for  the  Lord’s 
cause  made  her  one  of  the  most  useful  and  profoundly  impres¬ 
sive  of  the  noble  army  of  Baptist  women  w'ho  have  gone  forth 
to  labor  for  the  heathen.  Her  life  was  a  blessing  to  others,  her 
reward  will  be  blessed  to  herself.  Sincere  sympathy  is  extended 
to  all  the  bereaved  circle  of  friends  at  home  and  abroad.”

cloud  never  fully  passed  away.  While  engaged  in  building,  at  the  age  of  nearly 
80  years,  the  high  winds  nearly  destroyed  the  house,  through  the  mismanagement 
of  the  carpenters.  But  his  ardor  was  not  weakened  for  he  again  bought  ground 
and  built  in  another  part  of  the  village.  This  house  was  also  completed  and  ready 
for  use,  but  was  burned  to  the  ground  and  never  occupied.  He  was  a  strictly  tem¬

Yohe.  At  the  time  of  their  marriage  he  was  serving  as  a  com¬ 
missioned  officer  in  a  Penn.  Reg  t.  in  the  Civil  War.  His  father 
was  proprietor  of  the  Eagle  Hotel  in  Bethlehem,  then  famous 
for  its  excellence  in  all  the  country  far  and  wide.  Lizzie's  moth¬ 
er  died  when  she  was  so  young  she  can  scarcely  remember  her, 
and  the  relations  between  herself  and  stepmother  were  such  that 
she  was  placed  with  her  aunt  Augusta  Robbins,  by  whom  she 
was  reared  and  to  whom  she  was  devotedly  attached,  until  she 
was  12  years  old,  when  she  started  out  to  earn  her  own  living. 
Wherever  she  located  she  was  very  successful  and  very  popular. 
At  one  time  she  resided  in  Canada;  at  the  time  of  her  marriage 
she  was  carrying  on  her  business  in  Bethlehem,  and  had  been

for  three  or  four  years  Except  for  a  brief  period  subsequent  to 
her  marriage  she  continued  ip  business,  most  of  the  time  in  the 
marble  front,  ioi6  Chestnut  St.,  Philadelphia,  working  for  some 
of  the  vvealthiest  people  in  the  state,  until  her  daughter  was  able 
to  provide  a  home  for  her.  Wm.  was  very  dark  complexioned, 
talented,  musical,  fascinating,  artistic,  an  excellent  “putty”  mak¬ 
er.  Lizzie,  besides  being  mistress  of  her  business,  was  a  good 
singer,  frequently  having  engagements  with  prominent  churches 
in  Philadelphia  for  their  choirs.  She  has  dramatized  quite  nice¬ 
ly  “The  Scarlet  Letter,”  but  I  believe  she  has  never  presented 
it  to  any  manager.  The  only  fruit  of  the  marriage  is  Mary 
Augusta  Yohe,  widely  known  as  May  Yohe,  the  opera  singer. 
She  was  born  at  Bethlehem,  Pa.,  April  6,  1866,  and  was  bap¬ 
tized  into  the  Moravian  church  at  that  city  April  6,  1867.  It 
was  about  that  time  her  mother  commenced  business  in  Phila¬ 
delphia,  and  there  May  continued  to  reside  until  about  12  years 
of  age,  when  her  mother  sent  her  to  Europe  to  be  politely  edu¬ 
cated.  After  an  absence  of  nearly  three  years  she  returned

home,  her  father  meanwhile  having  died  in  Montana.  Now  she 
first  began  to  manifest  a  talent  for  music  and  a  desire  for  the 
stage.  Her  first  appearance  was  as  a  chorus  girl,  but  it  was  from 
her  success  in  rendering  Prince  Prettywitz  in  the  Crystal  Slip¬ 
per  at  the  Chicago  opera  house  in  the  summer  of  1887,  that  her 
career  may  be  said  to  have  dated.  She  has  toured  extensively, 
having  visited  Britain  at  least  twice  and  also  Australia,  before 
her  final  trip  to  England,  which  terminated  in  her  making  that 
country  her  home,  as  the  wife  of  Sir  Francis  Pelham — Clinton 
Beresford  Hope  (1894),  younger  brother  of  the  present  Duke  of 
Manchester,  whose  life  is  slowly  ebbing  away  and  to  whose 
titles  and  estates,  the  present  Duke,  being  childless.  Sir  Francis 
will  succeed.  She  is  thoroughly  in  love  with  her  profession, 
and  for  that  reason  and  that  only,  remains  on  the  stage.  Her 
husband  gallantly  and  devotedly  escorts  her  wherever  she  goes. 
It  was  a  genuine  love  match.  She  is  as  much  distinguished  for 
her  steadfast  attachment  to  old  friends  as  for  her  sturdy  inde¬ 
pendence.  This  she  not  only  inherited  from  each  parent;  but  she

has  never  known  higher  authority  than  her  own  sweet  will.  Re¬ 
cently  her  natural  kindness  of  heart  has  practically  manifested 
itself  in  a  radical  but  systematic  attempt  to  elevate  and  improve 
the  condition  of  her  husband’s  tenants.  One  of  her  striking  traits 
is  her  regard  for  old  friends  irrespective  of  their  social  position, 
as  is  well  brought  out  in  the  following  characteristic  anecdote: 
One  evening  when  playing  in  one  of  our  large  cities  a  distin¬ 
guished  English  nobleman  sent  up  his  card  and  asked  her  to 
dine  with  him  after  the  performance.  She  accepted  the  invita¬ 
tion  but  when  she  came  down  to  the  reception  room  she  also 
discovered  there  an  old  friend  she  had  not  seen  for  some  years. 
She  went  right  up  to  him  and  greeted  him  cordially,  accepting 
at  once  his  invitation  to  dinner.  Turning  to  the  discomfited 
Englishman  she  waved  her  hand  saucily  to  him,  e.xclaiming, 
“Ta,  ta,  Duke,  ta,  ta!”  and  left  the  apartment  with  her  new 
escort.  May  Yohe,  now  Lord  Francis  Hope’s  wife,  is  the  pre¬ 
sumptive  heir  to  the  title  of  Duchess  of  Newcastle,  It  is  by  no 
means  certain  that  Lady  May  will  be  here  this  year,  but  an  at¬ 
tempt  to  secure  her  has  been  making  for  some  time,  and  the 
engagement  is  sure  to  come  to  pass  yet,  as  the  one-time  favorite 
is  not  rich,  if  she  is  titled,  and  a  good,  financially  successful  tour 
would  be  very  welcome  to  her  e.xchecpier.  It  is  seven  years  ago 
this  month — September,  1888 — that  May  Yohe  made  her  first  suc¬ 
cess  in  Boston,  and  from  that  time  her  career  was  a  venture-

some  one.  At  that  time  she  was  about  17,  and  was  the  prime 
attraction  in  a  spectacular  production  of  “Cinderella,”  hailing 
from  Chicago,  When  that  show  left  Boston,  May  Yohe  stayed 
behind,  and  was  for  some  time  a  resident  of  Columbus  Ave,, 
where  her  lithe  young  figure,  with  its  bouyant  carriage,  and  her 
saucy  face,  with  its  big,  dark  eyes  and  ruby  lips,  became  very 
well  known.  She  went  abroad  about  three  years  ago  and  made 
an  almost  instantaneous  hit,  and  has  been  popular  ever  since. 
Among  her  hits  are  Martina  in  “The  Magic  Opal,”  at  the  Lyric 
Theatre,  London,  Jan.  19,  1893;  Nitouche  in  the  comic  opera  of 
the  name.  May  6,  1893;  the  title  role  of  “The  Lady  Slavey,”  Oct. 
1894,  at  the  Avenue  Theatre;  and  in  “Dandy  Dick  Whittington,” 
at  the  same  theatre,  in  March  of  this  year.  Every  one  knows

Miss  Yolie's  vocal  peculiarities.  She  has  a  voice  of  limited  range, 
a  deep,  musical,  but  peculiar  contralto.  That  has  been  one  of 
her  charms  to  the  Londoners.  This  year  (1897)  she  retired  from 
the  stage  at  the  request  of  the  dowager  duchess  of  Newcastle.

and  iinpiisitiveness,  and  a  ))owerful  inemoiy  At  the  age  of  seven  he  was  the  best 
scholar  in  school  and  always  at  the  head  of  his  class.  He  finished  his  schooling

till  spring  of  1861,  when  the  war  broke  out;  all  this  previous  time  working  at  his 
trade  as  a  first  class  carpenter  whenever  stopi)ed  long  enough.  In  the  spring  of 
1861  he  enlisted  in  the  14th  Ill.  Infantry,  Col.  John  M.  Palmer;  saw  service  in 
Missouri  and  was  with  Freemont  at  Springfield;  was  offered  a  lieutenancy,  but  de¬

went  to  Omaha.  Neb.,  and  later  to  Wyandott,  Kansas,  learned  draughting  and

thence  to  Hot  Springs  and  Fort  Smith.  Went  tf)  Waldren  to  superintend  build¬

and  bought  a  farm  of  120  acres  seven  miles  from  Springfield.  Mo.:  there  he  has 
lived  13  years  and  reared  his  children  and  has  never  had  a  doctor  inside  of  his

ten  years  old  he  was  apprenticed,  against  his  wishes,  to  the  printers’  trade,  but 
ran  away  and  went  down  to  New  Orleans  on  a  flat  boat.  From  that  time  on  for 
nearly  50  years  he  was  a  boatman  on  the  western  rivers,  with  all  of  which  he  was 
familiar.  From  cabin  boy  to  captain  he  filled  nearly  every  station  on  a  steamboat, 
and  he  filled  them  with  honor.  He  commanded  a  number  of  steamboats,  but  as 
the  business  declined  in  1875  he  took  the  Walnut  Street  House  in  Cincinnati,  of 
which  he  was  proprietor  at  the  time  of  his  death.  Capt.  Batchelor  was  beloved 
by  his  fellow  citizens,  and  what  is  the  truest  test  of  a  man,  he  was  idolized  by  his

Ohio,  and  received  his  early  education  at  private  schools  in  his  native  town.  His 
father  was  Jos.  S.  Batchelor,  who  moved  from  Philadelphia  to  Steubenville  in 
1810,  and  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  furniture.  In  1841  Capt.  Batchelor  ap¬ 
prenticed  himself  to  Capt.  Henry  Mason,  of  Wheeling,  on  steamer  Tioga,  to  learn 
to  be  a  pilot,  and  in  1849  he  bought  the  interest  of  Capt.  John  Klinefelter  in  the 
steamer  Hibernia  No.  2,  of  the  Pittsburgh  and  Cincinnati  Packet  Line,  and  as¬ 
sumed  command.  In  1853  he  took  command  of  the  famous  Allegheny,  and  built 
the  Americus  for  the  Pittsburgh  and  Nashville  trade.  In  1855,  the  Americus  burned 
and  he  left  the  river  to  become  the  active  vice  president  of  the  Eureka  Insurance 
Company  of  Pittsburgh,  and  acted  as  the  general  agent  in  settling  marine  losses. 
In  1861  he  was  appointed  by  President  Lincoln  as  Surveyor  of  the  Port  and  United 
States  Depository  at  Pittsburgh,  where  he  remained  until  September,  1866,  when 
he  was  removed  by  President  Johnson  because  he  would  not  become  a  Johnson 
man.  During  his  connection  with  the  latter  office  he  disbursed  over  one  hundred 
million  dollars,  and  wound  up  with  the  Government  in  his  debt.  In  1867  he  became 
president  of  the  Eagle  Cotton  Mills  Company  of  Pittsburgh,  where  he  continued 
until  1873.  In  1868  he  was  made  president  of  the  Masonic  Bank  of  Pittsburgh, 
where  he  continued  until  1884,  when  he  resigned  to  become  acting  president  of  the 
Keystone  Bank,  and  president  of  the  Pittsburgh  Petroleum  Exchange.  He  con¬ 
tinued  his  connection  with  the  Keystone  Bank,  but  resigned  the  presidency  of 
the  Oil  Exchange.  He  was  the  president  of  the  Natural  Gas  Company  of  West 
Virgina,  furnishing  gas  to  the  city  of  Wheeling,  and  secretary  and  treasurer  of  the 
Natural  Gas  Company.  Limited,  of  Pittsburgh,  the  first  gas  company  that  ever 
handled  gas  for  manufacturing  purposes,  which  was  in  1875.  During  his  steam¬ 
boat  career,  he  owned  in  and  built  the  most  of  the  following  steamers:  Hibernia

chairman  of  the  committee  of  arrangements  and  commodore  of  the  fleet,  for  the 
celebration  of  the  opening  of  Davis  Island  Dam,  at  Pittsburgh.  Capt.  Batchelor 
was  a  prominent  Mason  for  years,  he  having  received  the  highest  degree  that  can

both  reside  at  No.  635  Park  Ave..  New  York  city.  They  have 
two  children.  Jennett  C.  Batchellor  was  educated  at  the  high 
schools  at  Littleton,  N.  H.,  and  at  the  one  time  famous  New' 
bury  Seminary  at  Newbury.  Vt.  Her  course  of  study  at  that  in¬ 
stitution  was  in  the  period  from  1852  to  1855.  At  an  early  age 
she’  was  engaged  as  a  teacher  and  continued  in  that  occupation 
.  until  her  marriage.  In  this  work  she  achieved  marked  success. 

As  a  physician’s  wife  she  was  a  model  of  helpfulness  and  tact. 
No  small  share  of  her  husband’s  success  was  attributable  to  her 
devoted  co-operation  in  his  professional  labors.  In  general  lit¬ 
erature  and  in  medical  progress  she  was  an  industrious  and  crit¬ 
ical  student.  The  only  child  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Bugbee  was  a 
daughter  who  was  a  graduate  of  the  Littleton  High  School  and 
the  Boston  School  of  Oratory.  This  family  absorbed  the  atten¬ 
tion  and  energy  of  the  mother  until  the  circle  was  broken  by 
the  daughter’s  marriage,  which  was  followed  shortly  by  the 
father’s  decease.  Mrs.  Bubgee  became  a  member  of  the  Trin¬ 
itarian  Congregationalist  Church  at  Littleton  by  profession  of 
faith,  in  May  1866.  and  still  retains  that  connection.  She  now 
resides  with  her  daughter,  Mrs.  Blake,  in  the  city  of  New  York, 
and  is  permitted  to  find  the  freshening  of  her  own  life  in  the 
companionship  of  children’s  children.  (Ra’ph  Bugbee.  Jr.,  was 
of  a  family*  noted  in  medical  annals.  His  father,  Ralph  Bug¬

reputation  for  his  successful  treatment  of  a  class  of  chronic  dis¬ 
eases  which  brought  him  patients  from  distant  states.  He  was 
also  noted  as  a  surgeon.  He  was  three  times  married.  His  first 
wife  was  Phebe  J.  Tifft  to  whom  he  was  married  in  1846.  She 
died  soon  after,  and.  in  1847,  he  married  Mary  Barker,  by  whom 
he  had  one  son.  Geo.  R.  Bugbee,  M.  D.,  now  of  Wausau,  Mara¬ 
thon  county,  Wisconsin.  In  1856  he  married  Jennett  C.  Batch- 
ellor  of  Bethlehem,  N.  H.  Dr.  Bugbee  was  in  politics  first  a 
Whig  and  afterwards  a  Republican.  He  never  held  civil  office. 
He  was  a  Freemason,  having  been  a  member  of  Burns  Lodge 
No.  66  at  Littleton  for  a  period  of  thirty  years.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  White  Mountain  (N.  H.),  the  Caledonia,  and 
Vermont  State  Medical  Societies,  He  uni'ed  with  the  Trinitar¬ 
ian  Congregationalist  Church  at  Lower  Waterford,  Vt.,  Jan.  5, 
1851.  and  never  changed  his  church  relations.  The  late  Frank  J. 
Eastman,  like  Dr,  Bugbee,  a  Vermonter  in  New  Hampshire,  in 
a  historical  paper  prepared  for  the  Littleton  Centennial  tp.  97), 
made  the  following  appreciative  mention  of  the  doctor:  “He 
possesses  an  inborn  capacity  and  aptitude  for  surgery,  and  has 
an  accurate  eye  for  anatomical  proportion.  He  stands  well  in 
the  treatment  of  acute  diseases  and  excels  in  those  that  are 
chronic.  His  thoroughness  and  persistence  have  resulted  in 
phenomenal  recoveries.  He  is  an  adept  in  nursing  and  staying 
the  trip  on  the  down  hill  side  of  life.  The  aches  and  outs  of 
natural  decay,  whether  heralded  by  broken  veins  or  the  ulcers 
of  old  age.  obtain  soothing  relief  from  the  store-house  of  his 
resources,  whether  existing  in  the  imagination  or  in  materiality 
as  malignant  as  the  sores  of  Lazarus.  With  these  endowments 
his  professional  engagements  could  have  been  only  extensive. 
He  is  an  e.xcellent  financier  and  invests  his  funds  as  skillfully  as 
he  mends  a  shattered  limb.  For  jears  Dr.  Bugbee  has  patiently 
worked  at  his  profession,  and,  when  he  shall  have  made  his  last 
prescription,  his  tombstone  can  well  bare  the  inscription,  ‘Here 
lies  a  man  who  has  been  useful  to  mankind.’  ”).

in  several  other  campaigns,  including  the  Lexington  alarm. 
Sergeant  Batchellor  in  religious  affiliation  was  a  Methodist,  as 
were  his  parents.  His  academic  education  was  acquired  in  the 
High  School  at  Littleton,  and  the  Conference  Seminary  at 
Northfield.  His  mother  was  with  him  in  the  hospital  and 
nursed  him  through  the  month  of  June  till  his  death. — (Abbot’s 
Hist.  First  Reg't.,  p.  278).  An  obituary  of  Sergt.  Batchellor  by 
Rev.  S.  E.  Quimby,  is  published  in  Zion's  Herald,  Nov.  9,  1864. 
The  People's  Journal  of  Littleton,  edited  by  Maj.  Wm.  J.  Bel¬ 
lows,  made  the  following  comment  on  the  death  of  Sergt.  Batch¬ 
ellor;  "He  was  a  brave  soldier,  and  commanded  the  respect  of 
all  who  knew  him.  He  has  may  friends  in  this  place,  who  will 
sadily  mourn  his  sudden  death  and  the  loss  of  so  brave  and  faith¬ 
ful  a  soldier.” 

The  following  appreciative  passages  appear  in  Thompson's 
History  of  the  Thirteenth  Regiment:  "In  a  letter  written  from 
Hammond  Hospital,  Point  Lookout,  Md.,  Sergt.  Batchellor 
states:  ‘Company  D.  was  thrown  out  as  skirmishers  to  the  ex¬ 
treme  front  on  Friday,  May  13.  In  the  afteinoon  the  enemy 
charged  and  drove  us  back,  then  we  forced  them  back  again. 
About  4  p.  m.  I  stepped  back  to  speak  wdth  Lieut.  Sherman, 
the  rebel  sharp-shooters  got  range  of  me,  and  shot  me  in  the 
arm  while  my  gun  was  in  my  hand.  The  bullet  broke  my  arm 
between  the  shoulder  and  the  elbow’.  Surgeons  Richardson 
and  Small  operated  on  the  arm,  taking  out  several  pieces  of 
bone.  They  then  sent  me  to  Point  of  Rocks  (Corps  Hospital) 
and  from  there  here.’ — (Sergt.  Charles  W.  Batchellor).  From 
this  wound  he  never  recovered,  but  died  on  July  2d  irom  the 
effects  of  it.  He  was  a  good  soldier,  efficient  and  conscientious 
in  performing  all  his  duties,  and  a  universal  favorite  in  the  reg¬ 
iment,  which  lost  in  him  one  of  its  very  best  men.”

schools  of  Sutton  and  Millbury,  and  before  attaining  his  majority,  he  joined  his 
father  at  Auburn,  Mass.,  who  was  extensively  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of 
scythes.  He  continued  some  years  with  his  father,  but  for  better  accommodations 
moved  to  Grafton,  Mass.  The  Batcheller  scythes  were  famous  throughout  the 
United  States  for  their  durability,  and  fine  cutting  qualities;  this  depended  on  their 
superior  temper,  which  was  done  by  a  method  known  only  to  himself  and  his

in  that  line  of  business.  He  also  carried  on  at  this  time  an  extensive  business  in

policy  in  the  matter  of  finances.  He  took  quite  an  active  part  in  championing  the

and  son  of  Moses  and  Polly  (Chase)' 
Batcheller,  was  b.  in  Sutton,  Mass.,  Dec. 
2,  1811.  He  received  his  early  educa'ion 
in  the  public  schools  of  that  place.  .\t 
an  early  age  he  developed  a  natural  fond¬ 
ness  for  the  study  of  botany  and  med¬ 
icine.  As  he  advanced  in  years  this  fond¬ 
ness  became  stronger  and  he  availed 
himself  of  every  opportunity  to  acquire 
a  medical  education.  By  honest  toil  and 
indefatigable  energy,  in  those  days  of 
privation  and  hardship,  he  gained  a  com¬ 
petency  sufficient  to  enter  Worcester 
Medical  College,  Worcester,  Mass.,  from 
which  he  graduated  at  the  age  of  22 
years.  He  commenced  the  practice  of 
medicine  in  his  native  town,  and  re¬ 
mained  there  until  1843,  when  he  moved 
to  the  town  of  Burrillville,  R.  1.  Here-' 
he  worked  himself  into  an  extensive 
practice  and  his  name  is  a  household 
word  among  the  old  residents  of  that  vi¬ 
cinity  and  for  many  miles  around.  While 
in  Sutton  he  was  twice  married.  His 
first  wife,  Lucy  Dean,  lived  less  than  two- 
years  and  died,  leaving  one  child.  His

ter  settling  in  Burrillville  he  married  Kezia  Wallin,  by  whom  he  had  five  children. 
In  1865,  owing  to  failing  health  and  a  serious  asmatic  trouble,  he  was  obliged  to 
seek  a  different  climate,  and  moved,  with  his 'family,  to  Wilmington,  Houston  Co., 
Minnesota.  Here  he  followed  his  profession  until  1865,  when  he  bought  a  farm 
near  Cedar  Falls,  Iowa,  and  settled  there.  Here  he  continued  the  practice  of  med¬ 
icine  until  failing  health  compelled  him  to  retire  from  active  life.  He  died  Sept.  29, 
1878.  Dr.  Batcheller  was  a  man  of  kind  and  genial  disposition  and  made  many 
friends  wherever  he  settled.  He  was  a  keen  judge  of  human  nature,  and  while  he-

admired  all  that  was  elevating  and  ennobling  in  character,  he  was  ever  sympathetic 
and  lenient  to  those  who  were  in  fault.  He  was  extremely  fond  of  children  and  his 
family  ties  were  very  strong.  He  was  always  indulgent  to  his  children,  in  whose 
memories  he  lives  as  an  honest  man  and  an  ideal  father.  Pie  d.  Sept.  29,  1878,  in

ton,  Mass.,  in  1810.  He  removed  with  his  parents  to  Abington,  Luzerne  (now 
Lackawanna)  county.  Pa.,  during  early  boyhood.  The  family  was  poor,  and  the 
struggle  for  existence  in  a  new  country  was  soon  intensified  by  the  death  by

drowning  of  the  father,  leaving  the  mother  with  her  three  children — Leonard,  Ab¬ 
ner  and  Rebecca — in  desperate  circumstances.  Most  nobly  the  mother  met  the 
emergency,  gaining  the  respect  and  esteem  of  the  community  by  her  homely  vir¬ 
tues  and  beautiful  Christian  character.  Further  sbrrow  soon  came  to  the  little 
family  in  the  tragic  death  of  Abner,  by  the  falling  of  a  tree,  the  felling  of  which 
he  was  watching  with  boyish  curiosity.  Leonard  devoted  his  energies  to  helping 
his  mother,  and  gaining  the  limited  education  the  country  schools  afforded.  As 
he  grew  into  sturdy  young  manhood,  the  construction  of  the  Erie  Ry.  and  the 
Delaware  &  Hudson  Canal  afforded  opportunity  for  the  obtaining  of  ready  money, 
a  scarce  article  in  the  back  woods  in  which  he  lived.  Leaving  home,  he  labored 
with  pick,  shovel  and  wheelbarrow  on  these  great  works,  thus  helping  those  at 
home  and  himself,  as  he  could  not  have  otherwise  have  done.  These  enterprises 
completed,  he  returned  home,  and,  having  a  mercantile  bent,  soon  drifted  to  Dun- 
daff,  Susquehanna  county,  then  one  of  the  rising  towns  of  the  new  country.  His 
mother  had  in  the  mean  time  married  David  Stanton.  He  soon  became  a  valued 
assistant  in  the  store  of  his  employer,  and  developed  the  business  capacity  so 
marked  in  his  later  days.  The  experiences  of  his  life,  while  laboring  on  canal  and 
railroad,  and  for  a  time  after  coming  to  Dundaff,  were  not  such  as  to  promote  his 
highest  moral  good,  but,  in  answer  to  his  mother’s  prayers,  the  “great  change’’ 
came  in  his  life,  and  he  became  earnest  in  pursuit  of  righteousness.  He  had  by  this 
time  arrived  at  the  age  of  25  years  or  more,  and  feeling  an  impulse  toward 
the  ministry,  he  struggled  through  two  years  at  Amherst  College,  and  one  year  at 
Union  Seminary,  but  becoming  convinced  that  he  was  not  fitted  for  the  ministry, 
he  gave  up  the  idea,  and  turned  his  attention  again  to  business,  believing  that  he 
could  do  more  efficient  work  for  the  cause  of  righteousness  as  a  business  man  than 
as  a  minister.  Returning  to  Abington,  he  engaged  in  mercantile  pursuits,  his  abil¬ 
ity  and  high  moral  standing  leading  men  of  means  to  gladly  embark  in  various  en¬ 
terprises  with  him.  In  1841  he  married  Hannah  Stone,  daughter  in  one  of  the  most 
honorable  and  influential  families  in  the  community,  the  father,  Lemuel  Stone,  hav¬ 
ing  watched  his  progress  from  a  poor  boy  to  an  influential  position.  For  twenty- 
five  years  he  carried  on  various  lines  of  business,  and  having  secured  a  modest 
competence  he  retired  with  the  purpose  of  devoting  his  time  and  energies  to 
church  work.  He  had  united  with  the  Presbyterian  church  when  living  in  Dun¬ 
daff,  and,  feeling  that  there  was  a  field  for  that  denomination  in  Abington,  he  was 
chiefly  influential  in  establishing  a  church  there,  to  which  he  devoted  much  time 
and  money  during  the  whole  of  his  active  life.  He  was  well  known  in  the  Presby¬ 
tery  and  Synod,  and  was  a  frequent  delegate  to  general  assemblies.  He  was,  how¬ 
ever,  generous  in  the  support  of  churches  of  other  denominations,  and  was  highly 
esteemed  by  all  Christians.  Always  the  friend  of  the  down  trodden  and  oppressed, 
he  early  took  active  interest  in  politics,  and  as  a  Whig,  Free  Soiler  and  Republi¬ 
can,  took  earnest  part  in  various  campaigns,  though  never  holding  office.  His 
activity  during  the  Fremont  campaign  of  1856  and  the  Lincoln  campaign  of  i860 
had  much  to  do  with  the  local  success  of  the  Republican  party.  During  the  Civil 
War  he  was  active  in  encouraging  enlistments,  especially  among  the  colored  peo¬ 
ple,  in  which  race  he  had  always  taken  marked  interest,  and  whose  champion  he 
had  ever  been.  As  agent  of  the  Underground  Railway,  he  assisted  scores  of  ne¬ 
groes  on  the  way  to  liberty,  harboring  them  in  his  own  home,  when  to  do  so  was 
at  risk  of  life  and  property.  As  a  result  of  the  life  of  hard  work  and  careless  ex¬ 
posure,  the  infirmities  of  age  early  deprived  him  of  active  participation  in  the  af¬ 
fairs  of  life,  and  after  years  of  discomfort  he  died  in  1889,  leaving  an  honored  name 
from  a  life  spent  largely  in  the  interest  of  his  fellowmen,  even  to  the  neglect  of  his 
own.  Of  his  children  two  reached  maturity.  The  younger.  Rev.  Ward  Batchelor

church  soon  after  leaving  college,  preaching  at  Bristol,  III,  and 
Morristown,  N.  Y,,  while  studying  at  McCormick  Seminary, 
Chicago,  and  Auburn  Seminary,  Auburn,  N.  Y.  He  was  mar¬ 
ried  before  entering  the  ministry,  and  the  task  of  caring  for  liis 
family  and  his  parishes,  and  the  completing  of  his  Seminary 
course,  so  undermined  his  health  that,  after  a  service  of  two 
years  at  Gurley  Chapel,  an  adjunct  of  the  New  York  Avenue 
church,  Washington,  D.  C.,  he  left  the  ministry.  Having  be¬ 
come  somewhat  expert  in  the  use  of  the  Spanish  language,  he 
conceived  the  idea  of  entering  business  in  Mexico,  removing  to 
Mexico  City  in  1887,  where  he  died  in  the  same  year.  He  left 
but  one  child,  Joseph  Leon  Batchelor,  who  was  an  invalid  all 
his  life,  but  whose  precocity  of  intellect  and  beauty  of  character 
had  made  a  deep  impression  on  all  who  knew  him;  he  died  in 
1893,  at  the  age  of  19.

M.  Metcalf.  Benjamin  L.  Batcheller,  was  son  of  Lewis  and  Sophia  and  was  born 
in  Sutton.  He  received  his  education  in  the  common  schools  of  the  town,  has 
been  a  farmer,  manufacturer  of  boots  and  shoes,  has  held  the  town  offices  of  over¬ 
seer  of  the  poor,  selectman,  and  is  now  town  clerk.  He  has  likewise  been  several 
times  the  agent  of  the  town.  His  last  and  most  efficient  service  as  such  was  in  the 
year  1854,  when  upon  the  petition  of  Joshua  Leland  and  others  a  most  persistent 
attempt  was  made  in  the  legislature  for  the  formation  of  a  new  township  from  the 
eastern  part  of  Sutton  and  the  western  part  of  Grafton.  Through  his  skillful  man¬ 
agement  of  the  matter  the  bill  failed  and  no  efforts  for  a  disembursement  of  the

Hartshorn,  with  whom  he  lived  twenty-one  years,  and  she  died  and  left  him  with 
seven  children  (two  others  had  died  in  infancy) — four  boys  and  three  girls.  He 
thought  to  marry  again  in  after  years,  but  found  none  to  suit.  He  kept  his  fam¬ 
ily  together  till  they  scattered  by  marriage,  and  found  other  homes.  He  loved  the 
old  bible  and  read  it,  too.  Every  morning  the  children  would  gather  round  him 
with  bible  in  hand,  and  each  read  two  verses  till  they  had  read  a  chapter,  and  then 
he  would  reverently  stand  m  a  corner  of  the  room  with  a  chair  on  which  to  rest 
his  hands,  and  ask  God's  blessing  on  the  family.  Sunday  was  his  holy  day  and 
he  observed  it  very  closely.  In  the  early  part  of  his  married  life  he  bought  a  farm 
on  the  road  leading  from  the  center  of  Mason  to  a  water  privilege,  called  the  vil¬ 
lage- — a  lonely  spot  to  live,  overlooking  the  church  and  school  house  and  many 
other  buildings  three-quarters  of  a  mile  distant.  The  house  of  the  old  home  he- 
built  so  many  years  ago  with  his  own  hands,  stands  there  still.  He  d.  Oct.  14,

Hollowell,  b.  Lynn,  Feb.  6,  1808:  d.  March  g,  1845;  m.  2d,  there.  May  ii,  1846,  Me- 
hitable  Catherine  Hollowell,  b.  Jan.  3,  1819;  d.  Dec.  15,  1893;  dau.  of  Samuel  Hoh- 
owell  and  Lydia  (Johnson).  By  the  death  of  his  mother  when  but  two  years  of 
age  he  was  left  without  maternal  care,  but  had  the  best  of  homes  with  his  aunt, 
Mrs.  John  Peirce.  He  received  an  excellent  common  school  education  and  at  the 
age  of  14  had  his  name  changed  by  act  of  the  legislature  to  John  Bachelder  Peirce. 
At  this  time  he  went  to  work  and  at  the  age  of  19  was  admitted  a  partner  by  his 
employer,  Mr.  Sanger  of  Danvers,  grocer.  Pie  always  followed  the  grocery  bus¬ 
iness.  In  those  days  rum  was  sold  by  grocers.  John  was  convinced  by  a  temper¬ 
ance  lecturer  that  rum  selling  was  wrong,  so  decided  to  leave  Mr.  Sanger.  The 
latter  asked  for  reasons,  which  were  plainly  stated,  and  after  a  short  time  Mr. 
Sanger  decided  to  give  up  the  rum  trade,  and  John  suggested  flour  to  take  its 
place.  The  business  grew  and  both  were  well  pleased  with  the  change.  At  the 
time  of  the  East  India  commercial  enterprises  Salem  was  a  thriving  commercial 
port.  John  was  doing  a  large  and  successful  grocery  business  there  then,  but  was 
ambitious  to  get  rich  fast,  so  tried  “commercial  ventures.”  These  proved  unfor¬ 
tunate;  he  lost  his  money  and  was  financially  ruined.  About  the  same  time  his  first 
wife  died,  leaving  five  small  children.  In  1849  John  went  to  California  via  Isthmus 
Panama,  as  commission  agent  for  flour,  groceries,  etc.  In  two  years  he  returned, 
having  partly  made  up  some  of  his  money  losses,  and  much  improved  in  health. 
Started  in  Boston  (1852-3)  in  wholesale  groceries,  having  as  partners  David  Grey 
and  Joshua  C.  Dana.  The  business  grew  until  John  retired  (1879).  having  paid  alll 
his  former  creditors.  John  was  always  identified  with  the  anti-slavery  movement, 
and  by  influence  and  money  helped  the  cause:  and  naturally  was  a  Republican  in 
politics:  was  a  “P'ree  Thinker”  in  religion:  one  of  the  founders  of  the  “Free 
Church”  in  Lynn,  Rev.  Samuel  Johnson  as  preacher.  This  movement  had  effect 
on  the  present  thought  on  religion.  Theodore  Parker  was  not  quite  as  forward 
as  Samuel  Johnson  in  liberal  ideas.  In  the  last  years  of  his  life  John  was  a  mem¬ 
ber  of  Minot  J.  Savage  Society,  Church  of*  the  Unity,  Boston.  Always  a  man  of 
great  personality  and  strong  convictions,  and  up  to  date.  He  d.  Sept.  2,  1889,  Res.

1840,  Ann  Eliza  Reed,  b.  Dec.  25,  1822;  d.  April  18,  1854.  George  Fordic  Crown- 
ingshield  Batchelder  was  born  in  Danvers.  Mass.,  and  lived  in  that  town  till  man¬ 
hood.  He  served  an  apprenticeship  to  the  machinist  and  blacksmith  trade  and 
when  quite  a  young  man  he  went  to  Louisiana  and  took  a  position  as  engineer  on 
the  Pontchartrain  R.  R.  and  remained  in  that  vicuiity  for  several  years;  during 
that  time  he  was  employed  by  Leads  &  Co.  (machinists)  of  New  Orleans,  and  he 
held  other  positions  near  that  city.  At  one  time  he  was  employed  as  engineer  01 
a  saw  mill  near  there.  He  married  Ann  Eliza  Read  at  Port  Hudson,  La.  Shortly 
after  his  marriage  he  moved  to  Cedar  Grove  (sometimes  called  Hunts  Mills), 
Fla.,  about  two  miles  from  Milton.  Fla.  There  he  took  charge  of  the  machinery  of 
a  large  saw  mill  plant  owned  by  John  Hunt.  He  was  employed  by  Mr.  Hunt  for 
a  number  of  years  and  then  with  a  man  named  Criglar  bought  the  prop¬ 
erty  from  Hunt  and  conducted  the  business  for  themselves  under  the  name  of  Crig¬ 
lar  &  Batchelder.  They  prospered  and  became  quite  wealthy.  The  ])roperty  con¬ 
sisted  of  saw  mills,  timber  lands,  about  200  slaves,  sailing  vessels,  steamboats,  etc. 
When  war  was  declared  in  1861  the  property  was  worth  about  $700,000,  but  a  few 
months  later  soldiers  were  sent  up  from  Pensacola,  Fla.,  where  they  were  stationed 
at  that  time,  with  orders  to  burn  all  the  mill  property  in  that  section;  which  they 
did.  The  slaves  scattered  and  went  wherever  they  could  find  employment,  and  by 
order  of  Gen.  Neil  Dow  of  Maine,  who  was  in  charge  of  the  troops  in  Pensacola. 
Fla.,  at  that  time,  the  furniture  was  taken  out  of  his  home  and  sent  to  Pensacola. 
It  was  said  that  Neil  Dow  sent  the  parlor  furniture  to  his  own  home  in  Maine.  He 
never  heard  from  it  again.  At  that  time  he  was  taken  prisoner  by  Neil  Dow,  for 
aiding  the  Confederate  cause,  and  kept  in  prison  in  Fort  Pickens  (near  Pensacola), 
for  several  months.  When  he  was  released  he  went  to  Montgomery,  Ala.,  and 
took  charge  of  the  Niter  Yards  there  and  made  niter  to  put  in  gunpowder,  for  the 
Confederate  Government.  He  lived  in  Montgomery,  Ala.,  till  the  close  of  the  war; 
then  he  moved  back  to  his  old  place  at  Cedar  Grove,  Fla.,  and  built  a  small  saw 
mill,  but  never  recovered  his  losses.  He  d.  March  ii,  1883.  Res.  Milton.  Fla.

March  12,  1869,  in  Wells  Co.,  Ind.  The  mother  was  born  Nov.  21,  1795.  in  Rutland 
Co.,  Vermont,  and  died  March  24,  1883.  She  was  a  daughter  of  Jeremiah  Jefferson, 
who  was  a  second  cousin  of  President  Thomas  Jefferson  and  of  English  descent. 
The  parents  were  married  in  New  York  and  moved  to  Ashtabula  Co.,  Ohio,  Nov. 
7,  1819,  where  the  father  followed  milling  and  farming  for  many  years.  Mr.  Bach¬ 
elor,  the  subject  of  this  sketch,  passed  his  early  youth  in  assisting  his  father  on 
the  farm,  and  in  attending  the  subscription  schools.  He  remained  with  his  parents 
until  his  marriage,  which  occurred  March  4,  1843.  with  Miss  Louisa  J.  Richardson^ 
of  Cayuga  Co.,  N.  Y.,  a  daughter  of  Richard  Richardson,  who  came  to  Ohio  when 
Mrs.  Bachelor  was  a  child.  Our  subject  follov/ed  farming  in  Ashtabula,  his  na¬ 
tive  county,  until  1854,  when  he  moved  to  Wells  county,  having  purchased  a  farm 
in  Jackson  the  year  before  he  settled  on  it,  and  cleared  and  improved  the  farm  un-

til  it  was  one  of  the  best  in  the  township.  He  remained  on  that  farm  until  he  was 
elected  County  Treasurer  in  1874,  when  he  left  the  farm  and  moved  to  Bluffton  to 
assume  the  duties  of  his  office.  At  the  expiration  of  his  term  he  was  re-elected  and 
discharged  the  duties  to  the  entire  satisfaction  of  his  constituents,  no  man  ever 
having  been  more  faithful  to  his  trust.  After  the  expiration  of  the  four  years  in 
office  he  retired  to  his  farm,  south  of  Bluffton,  where  he  and  his  estimable  wife  are 
enjoying  the  accumulations  of  many  years  of  hard  labor.  They  are  both  mem¬ 
bers  of  the  Baptist  church  and  politically  he  affiliates  with  the  Democratic  party, 
being  true  to  his  Jeffersonian  ancestry.  In  1865  the  parents  of  Mr.  Bachelor  came 
to  Wells  county  to  live  with  him,  where  the  father  passed  the  remainder  of  his 
days;  the  mother  afterward  returned  to  Ohio  and  died  at  the  home  of  her  daughter 
Rhoda.  In  addition  to  serving  as  treasurer  of  his  county  two  terms,  he  was  jus¬ 
tice  of  the  peace  for  sixteen  years,  and  was  trustee  of  Harrison  Township  three 
years,  Mr.  Bachelor’s  enterprise  and  forethought  has  always  been  a  marked  char¬ 
acteristic  of  his  life.  A  notable  incident  was  his  vote  in  1872  to  aid  the  Toledo, 
Thornton  and  St.  Louis  R.  R.  when  the  question  was  submitted  to  a  vote  of  the 
county,  he  being  the  only  man  in  his  township  who  had  the  courage  to  stand  alone 
and  vote  his  convictions,  believing  then,  as  now,  that  the  general  good  of  the  peo¬ 
ple  should  be  the  object  of  all  public  questions,  and  now  those  who  were  op¬ 
posed  to  the  measure  admit  the  wisdom  of  his  course,  as  the  result  of  the  agitation 
of  th'at  enterprise  finally  resulted  in  the  construction  of  the  Toledo,  St.  Louis  & 
Kansas  City  railroad.  Res.  Bluffton,  Ind.

then  into  the  mercantile  business.  He  owned  and  kept  a  general  store,  groceries, 
boots  and  shoes  and  clothing:  this  he  ran  for  a  few  years,  then  he  went  on  the 
farm  and  remained  until  1882,  when  he  was  employed  by  the  American  Sewing 
Machine  Co.  to  open  and  run  a  retail  office  at  Bay  City,  Mich,  About  two  years 
he  worked  their  office  business,  when  he  was  promoted  to  a  general  state  agency 
and  traveled  over  seven  states,  which  were  Ohio,  Michigan,  Indiana,  Illinois, 
Wisconsin,  Iowa  and  Minnesota.  He  remained  on  the  road  until  1895,  in  all 
about  twelve  years  with  this  company.  After  he  was  employed  with  this  company 
he  traded  his  little  eighty-acre  farm  for  the  eleven  acres  that  he  now  lives  on  just

April  2,  1825.  He  was  fitted  for  college  at  Thornton  Academy,  Saco,  Me.,  where 
his  father's  family  resided  for  several  years.  On  leaving  college  he  entered  the 
law  school  at  Harvard,  where  he  pursued  his  legal  studies  and  received  his  degree 
of  Bachelor  of  Laws  in  1848.  He  opened  an  office  in  Boston,  and  there  practiced 
his  profession  the  remainder  of  his  life,  having  his  residence  in  Cambridge.  Of  a 
modest  and  retiring  disposition,  he  had  no  ambition  to  gain  distinction  by  forensic 
eloquence,  but  devoted  his  attention  to  the  business  of  conveyancing,  a  branch  in 
which  he  attained  an  honorable  reputation.  Without  pretension,  without  affecta¬

E.  Wood;  m.  2nd,  Mrs.  E.  C.  Beardsley.  John  Montgomery  Batchelder  was  born 
in  New  Ipswich,  New  Hampshire,  and  died  in  Cambridge.  He  was  a  university 
student  at  Brunswick  in  1831.  and  also  studied  civil  engineering  with  Professor 
Hayward  at  Harvard  University.  For  many  years  he  pursued  the  profession  of 
civil  engineer  at  York  Mills,  Maine;  he  also  practiced  his  profession  at  Lawrence, 
Mass.,  and  he  had  charge  of  a  mill  at  Ipswich,  Mass.  His  interest  in  scientific 
work  was  recognized  by  Professor  Bache  during  the  period  in  which  he  was  Su¬ 
perintendent  of  the  United  States  Coast  Survey,  and  Mr.  Batchelder  was  employed 
on  elaborate  observations  to  test  base-line  apparatus.  During  his  connection  with

the  Coast  Survey,  Mr.  Batchelder  made  many  experimental  inquiries,  among 
which  were  the  following:  On  the  compressibility  of  rubber.  Expansion  and 
contraction  of  highly  calendered  paper.  On  the  compressibility  of  sea  water  and 
some  other  liquids  by  pressure,  and  on  the  effects  of  temperature  in  compression 
in  relation  to  Saxton’s  sounding  instruments.  On  the  use  of  vulcanized  india- 
rubber  in  a  compression  sounding  apparatus.  On  Leonard's  dynamometric  log 
for  determining  the  speed  of  vessels  and  of  currents  of  water.  On  the  manufacture 
of  braided  sounding-line  of  hemp,  saturated  with  india-rubber.  On  Saxton’s 
pressure  apparatus,  and  the  effect  of  temperature  and  rate  of  cooling  when  encased 
in  wood.  On  the  effect  of  inclination  on  the  compensating  base  apparatus,  in 
the  Coast  Survey  Report  of  1858  it  is  stated  that  he  prepared  ice  charts,  showing 
the  boundaries  of  ice  during  certain  years  in  the  harbors  of  Gloucester,  Salem, 
Marblehead,  and  New  Haven.  Professor  Bache,  in  his  correspondence  with  Mr. 
Batchelder,  often  expresses  very  high  appreciation  of  his  work  and  of  his  abilities. 
In  1858  Mr.  Batchelder  was  detailed  from  the  Coast  Survey  to  assist  Dr.  B.  A. 
Gould  in  the  Dudley  Observatory  at  Albany.  His  work  there,  we  learn  from  a 
letter  of  Dr.  Gould,  was  “to  bring  the  calculating  machine  into  shape,  and  also  to 
aid  in  arranging  the  telegraphic  connections  and  apparatus.’’  The  calculating 
machine  was  Scheutz’s  tabulating  engine,  and  Mr.  Batchelder  mastered  its  intri¬ 
cacies  and  put  it  in  successful  operation.  Mr.  Batchelder’s  mind  was  essentially 
scientific;  and  no  one  can  examine  the  note-books  of  observations  which  he  has 
left  without  being  impressed  by  his  keen  interest  in  the  phenomena  of  nature. 
Nothing  seemed  to  escape  his  attention,  from  the  fluctuations  of  temperature  m  a 
well  to  the  quivering  of  the  aurora  borealis.  In  a  long  series  of  observations  on 
the  temperature  of  the  Saco  River,  made  in  1838,  he  notes:  “I  have  observed  that 
in  extreme  cold  weather  the  vapor  from  the  falls  has  a  very  sensible  effect  upon 
the  temperature  of  the  atmosphere — the  mercury  commonly  standing  four  or  five 
degrees  higher  within  a  few  rods  of  the  river  than  it  does  at  the  distance  of  one- 
fourth  of  a  mile.”  While  at  Saco  he  watched  lamprey  eels  building  a  dam  in  the 
stream,  and  in  an  article,  carefully  descriptive,  says:  “I  noticed  in  many  instances 
that  the  heavier  stones  were  lifted  by  two  eels,  working  along  side  of  each  other, 
and  carried  to  their  proper  places  in  the  structure.  Half-bricks  weighing  two 
pounds  were  thus  transferred,  and  many  of  the  stones  were  of  much  greater 
weight.”  A  friend  of  Mr.  Batchelder,  a  distinguished  engineer,  to  whom  these 
observations  on  eels  were  communicated,  said  in  reply:  “I  have  been  recently 
studying  cosmic  and  synthetic  philosophy,  and  looking  back,  not  to  final  causes 
exactly  where  we  run  plump  against  the  w'all,  but  at  any  rate  some  way  back,  for 
previous  causes  and  modes  of  action.  Now.  I  w'ant  to  know  who  began,  wdio  laid 
out  the  work,  and  acted  as  boss  in  the  case  you  describe.  From  an  e-x-dam  builder.” 
We  repeat  this  bit  of  humor  to  show  a  peculiar  and  taking  quality  of  Mr.  Batchel¬ 
der’s  mind.  No  matter  how  dry  or  technical  the  business  was  in  which  he  engaged, 
he  never  failed  to  evoke  a  sense  of  humor  in  those  about  him.  His  kindly  manner 
and  gentle  raillery  gave  every  one  an  opportunity  to  effervesce:  and  no  one  en¬ 
joyed  a  good  laugh  more  than  he  who  had  made  the  occasion  for  it.  The  play  of 
humor  in  the  letters  of  Professor  Benjamin  Peirce  to  Mr.  Batchelder,  and  in  the 
replies  of  the  latter,  show  his  genial  receptivity  in  a  marked  degree.  Professor 
Peirce’s  correspondence  with  Mr.  Batchelder  extended  over  many  years;  and  we 
find  the  mathematician  presenting  his  theories  of  tidal  action  and  of  cosmical 
phenomena  to  the  inventor,  and  the  inventor  in  turn  writing  of  the  mechanical 
appliances  which  interested  his  mind  so  greatly.  Thus  Professor  Peirce,  in  a 
letter  written  in  1855,  says:  "I  highly  approve  of  your  dynamometer  log.  and 
think  it  will  be  of  undoubted  value.  Let  me  suggest  to  you  to  lay  it  before  Bache 
as  soon  as  possible,  for  he  will  find  it  of  the  greatest  use  in  the  determination  of 
the  velocity  of  currents,  and  has  been  seeking  this  very  thing  in  a  totally  different 
way.”  In  a  letter  to  Professor  Joseph  Henrj',  Mr  Batchelder  says:  “I  do  not 
remember  any  published  records  of  the  increase  of  the  temperature  of  the  earth 
caused  by  falls  of  snow  and  the  consequent  decrease  of  radiation.  Can  yo.i  inform 
me  whether  such  observations  have  been  made?  Enclosed  is  a  sheet  showing 
results  of  observations  in  my  well  fat  Cambridge,  near  Agassiz  Museum)  during 
the  years  1868,  1869,  1870,  and  part  of  1871;  also  a  rough  sketch  of  the  position  of

the  well.  Please  notice  the  sudden  fall  of  one  degree  during  the  first  week  in 
September,  1868,  and  the  sudden  rise  in  the  same  week  in  1870.  The  observations 
would  have  been  continued  had  not  the  well  become  dry  in  consequence  of  the 
construction  of  a  deep  sewer  in  the  street.  If  you  think  that  notes  of  this  kind 
will  be  of  value,  I  should  like  suggestions  from  you  in  relation  to  the  proper  mode 
of  making  them.  I  suppose  the  depth  should  not  be  great — say  five  to  ten  feet.  I 
propose  to  drive  in  the  same  cellar  an  iron  tube,  and  allow  the  thermometer  to 
remain  within  a  few  inches  of  the  bottom.  The  temperature  of  the  surface  of  the 
ground  should  alslo  be  recorded.  .  .  .  The  cost  of  the  apparatus  would  be  about 
twenty-five  dollars,  and  I  should  make  no  charge  as  observer.”  Mr.  Batchelder 
was  a  contemporary  of  Agassiz,  Wyman,  Bond,  Gibbs,  and  Gould,  and  walked 
with  the  men  who  have  contributed  so  much  to  make  Cambridge  a  university 
centre,  and  aided  them  often  by  his  practical  science.  No  man  ever  had  greater 
appreciation  of  intellectual  qualities  than  he  had,  and  he  was  always  on  the  lookout 
for  some  mechanical  paradox  to  present  to  his  friend.  Professor  Peirce,  or  some 
peculiar  fact  in  natural  history  to  be  elucidated  by  Agassiz  or  Wyman.  Joined  to 
this  reverence  for  pure  science  was  a  marked  talent  for  invention.  Before  1853 
he  invented  independently  the  Bunsen  burner,  which  is  so  indispensable  in  all  lab¬ 
oratories,  and  which  is  used  so  extensively  in  the  arts.  His  apparatus  for  deep-sea 
soundings  is  still  used  in  the  United  States  Navy,  and  is  highly  approved  by  the 
British  Admiralty.  A  short  while  before  his  death.  Mr.  Batchelder  received  from 
of  providing  telegraphs  with  a  strong  wire  of  good  conductibility,  but  also  with 
an  officer  in  the  English  Navy  a  highly  complimentary  notice  of  the  performance 
of  his  apparatus.  His  tide-meter  for  soundings  at  a  distance  from  the  shore  has 
been  used  by  the  United  States  Coast  Survey  in  various  places.  During  the  block¬ 
ade  in  1862-63.it  was  used  in  eight  fathoms  of  water  off  Hilton  Head,  and  was 
instrumental  in  securing  the  safety  of  government  vessels.  We  find  among  his 
papers  many  memoranda  in  regard  to  submarine  signals,  and  when  he  was  over 
seventy  years  of  age  he  actively  carried  out  experiments  on  transmitting  signals 
under  water  by  employing  water  as  the  medium  of  propagation  of  sound  instead 
of  the  air.  By  means  of  the  sound  of  escaping  steam  he  succeeded  in  transmitting 
sound  over  a  mile  under  water.  His  ultimate  object  was  to  give  mariners  some 
method  of  ascertaining  the  proximity  of  ships  in  a  fog.  The  subject  of  electricity 
was  always  a  fascinating  one  to  him.  In  connection  with  Moses  G.  Farmer  he 
invented  the  compound  telegraph  wire,  which  consists  of  a  steel  core  and  a  sheath 
of  copper.  The  steel  wire  was  for  strength,  and  the  copper  covering  for  electrical 
conductivity.  The  inventors  made  many  experiment.'^  to  coat  the  steel  wire  success¬ 
fully  with  copper,  and  finally  succeeded.  Early  realizing  the  importance,  not  only 
an  insulator,  Mr.  Batchelder  invented  a  vulcanite  insulator  for  stringing  telegraph 
wires  on  poles  or  other  supports.  This  insulator  was  used  on  the  telegraph  be¬ 
tween  Boston  and  Portland  in  1853,  and  between  San  Francisco  and  Sacramento 
in  1854.  His  electro-magnet  watch-clock  is  now  in  use  in  various  places — notably 
in  safety  deposit  vaults.  The  Samuel  Batchelder  dynamometer  for  the  measure¬ 
ment  of  power  was  one  of  the  earliest  forms  of  practical  dynamometers,  and  was 
of  very  ingenious  construction.  It  was  well  adapted  for  the  measurement  of  the 
power  consumed  in  various  forms  of  mill  machinery.  Among  Mr.  Batchelder’s 
inventions  are  the  following:  Vulcanite  plate  electric  machine,  pressure  sounding 
machine,  tide  gauge  hydrometer,  cards  for  the  blind,  card  catalogues  for  libraries, 
porcelain  and  iron  insulator,  instrument  for  drawing  curves,  railway  station  and 
starting  signal,  iridium  surface  copper  plates.  The  first  plate  of  large  size,  21x16 
inches,  was  exposed  twenty-seven  years  without  wax  or  other  preparation,  and 
was  found  still  brilliant  and  uninjured.  Hygrometer  for  regulating  moisture  in 
closed  apartments  and  in  greenhouses.  Oat  basket  for  horses,  to  keep  the  feed  at 
a  uniform  level,  to  prevent  waste,  and  to  allow  the  horse  to  breathe  freely.  One 
cannot  read  the  above  list  without  being  impressed  by  the  remarkable  activity  of 
Mr.  Batchelder’s  mind.  His  note-books  teem  with  suggestions,  and  even  in  his 
eightieth  year  he  made  memoranda  and  suggestions  for  future  work.  The  writer 
of  this  notice  remembers  to  have  received  at  the  same  time  two  letters:  one  from 
Mr.  Batchelder,  then  in  his  eightieth  year,  in  which  he  asks  if  it  is  possible  to 
make  a  magnet  six  feet  long;  and  another  from  Moses  G.  Farmer,  who  had  been

many  years  stricken  with  paralysis,  and  had  to  be  wheeled  about  in  a  chair,  in 
which  keen  interest  was  expressed  in  regard  to  the  oscillatory  nature  of  electrical 
discharges.  Thus  two  life-long  friends  rose  superior  to  the  ills  of  old  age,  and 
manifested  a  calm  cheerfulness  and  scientific  philosophy  of  life.  No  one  could 
meet  Mr.  Batchelder  in  the  closing  years  of  his  busv  life  without  gaining  a  convic¬ 
tion  that  there  was  something  undying  in  the  spirit  that  could  so  cheerfully  meet 
the  growing  infirmities  of  age.  Mr.  Batchelder  was  elected  a  Fellow  of  the  Acad¬ 
emy  in  1866.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Boston  Society  of  Natural  History, 
of  the  Boston  Society  of  Arts,  of  the  American  Association  for  the  Advancement 
of  Science,  of  the  American  Institute  of  New  York,  and  of  the  Natural  History

tensive  acquaintance  with  English,  French  and  German  literature.  Many  of  his 
poems  of  a  patriotic  and  humorous  character  showed  literary  ability;  one  of  the 
longest,  “A  Romance  of  the  Sea  Serpent.”  written  in  1849,  passing  through  several

spent  in  the  usual  manner;  he  attended  school  and  made  reasonable  progress.  At 
the  age  of  14  he  began  to  keep  the  books  for  his  father,  still  attending  school;  most 
of  the  time  summers  he  was  to  be  found  on  the  mile  dock  tallying  lumber  and

Oct.  8,  i860,  Catherine  Phillips  Cook,  dan.  of  Genl.  Jos.  N.  Cook,  b.  Jan.  i,  18.39. 
George  Sherman  Batcheller  was  born  at  Batchellerville.  Saratoga  county.  Mr. 
Batcheller  received  the  degree  of  LL.  B  from  Harvard  University  in  1857,  and 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1858.  During  the  war  he  raised  Company  C,  115th  Reg¬ 
iment  N.  Y.  Vols.,  and  in  1862  he  entered  the  army  as  Lieutenant  Colonel  of  that 
regiment.  He  was  captured  at  the  Miles  surrender  at  Harper's  Ferry  in  Septeijiber 
of  the  same  year,  but  was  paroled  and  exchanged  in  1863.  He  then  served  in  the 
Tenth  Army  Corps  and  the  Department  of  the  South,  acting  as  Deputy  Provost 
Marshal  General  of  the  southern  department  in  1863.  serving  under  Generals  Hun¬ 
ter.  Gilmore  and  Terrv.  He  is  a  member  of  Post' Wheeler.  G.  A.  R.,  No.  92.  of 
Saratoga  Springs,  and  also  a  companion  in  the  Loval  Le.gion  After  the  war  he 
was  Inspector  General  of  the  State  from  i86,s  to  1869.  He  reorganized  the  State 
Militia  and  prepared  the  first  Military  Code.  He  represented  the  Governor  of  the 
State  in  the  funeral  escort  to  the  body  of  President  Lincoln  through  New  York, 
and  was  designated  to  escort  Gen.  Grant  and  Gen.  Shcrifian  on  their  first  visit  to 
this  state  after  the  war.  In  1875  he  was  appointed  by  President  Grant  the  repre- 
sentatne  of  the  United  States  on  the  International  Tribunal  of  Egypt  ,and  in  1883

he  was  elected  president  of  the  Tribunal  by  the  powers  represented.  He  served  in 
the  Assembly  in  1859.  having  been  elected  in  his  2ist  year;  in  1873,  1874.  1886  and 
1889.  serving  as  chairman  of  the  committee  on  wavs  and  means,  canals,  and  other 
important  committees.  He  was  urged  by  the  leading  Republicans  of  the  interior  of 
the  state  for  a  diplomatic  appointment.  His  long  residence  abroad  as  a  member  of 
the  International  Tribunal,  having  specially  qualified  him  for  such  a  post,  but  at 
Washington  his  friends  deemed  it  wise  that  he  should  remain  in  the  country,  and 
he  was  presented  to  the  President  by  both  senators,  vice-president  and  a  united 
Republican  delegation  in  congress  for  the  important  position  of  First  Assistant 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  to  which  position  he  was  nominated  and  confirmed  by 
the  senate.  The  complimentary  manner  in  which  his  appointment  was  treated  by 
the  press  of  both  parties  was  peculiarly  gratifying  to  his  Saratoga  friends  and  all 
rejoiced  in  the  distinguished  honor  conferred  uoon  one  of  their  fellow  citizens  by 
the  President.  Gen.  Ratcheller  was  zealously  urged  bv  such  men  as  Warner  Mil¬ 
ler,  George  B.  Sloan,  Judge  W.  H.  Roberston  and  Stewart  L.  Woodford,  as  a  can¬ 
didate  for  lieutenant  governor  at  the  Republican  state  convention  at  Utica  in  1874, 
and  would  probably  have  been  nominated  had  he  not  withdrawn  from  the  canvas 
in  the  interest  of  party  harmony.  He  was  a  candidate  for  presidential  elector  in 
the  first  Grant  campaign.  Gen.  Batcheller  was  permanent  chairman  of  the  last  Re¬ 
publican  state  convention,  held  at  Saratoga,  and  he  was  upon  the  stump  for  the 
party  almost  constantly  from  that  time  down  to  the  end  of  the  campaign,  having 
spoken  in  nearly  all  the  counties  from  the  Canadian  border  to  New  York.  He  is 
a  very  effective  speaker,  and  invariably  catches  the  attention  of  his  audience  at  the 
start,  holding  it  undiminished  to  the  end.  His  style  is  a  happy  combination  of 
humor,  argument  and  forceful  presentation  of  facts,  and  he  not  only  arouses  his 
hearers  to  the  highest  pitch  of  enthusiasm,  but  thoroughly  impresses  them  with 
sober  truths.  Gen.  Batcheller  has  had  great  exoerience  as  a  presiding  officer,  and 
is  thoroughly  versed  in  parliamentary  law.  He  is  not  only  endowed  with  Jiigh 
qualities  of  perception  and  prompt  decision,  but  is  always  courteous  and  concilia¬ 
tory  while  not  sacrificing  firmness  or  dignity.  In  Nov.  i8go  he  was  appointed 
United  States  Minister  to  Portugal  and  a  banquet  was  given  him  by  the  Union 
League  Club  of  New  York  the  evening  before  his  departure,  and  a  “grand  e.xcur- 
sion”  of  some  500  leading  members  of  the  Republican  party  of  the  state  of  New 
York  on  a  steamer  “down  the  bay  to  Quarantine.”  with  “music  and  banners”  to  put 
him  on  board  the  Atlantic  steamer  for  Europe.  He  was  for  two  years  United  States 
Minister  to  Portugal,  when  he  resigned  to  accept  a  professional  post  at  Paris, 
which  post  he  resigned  a  year  ago.  He  went  West  during  the  late  campaign,  on  a 
speaking  tour,  and  took  an  active  part  in  the  triumphal  election  of  Win.  McKinley 
as  President  of  the  United  States.  Gen.  Batcheller  was  a  delegate  to  the  Postal 
Congress,  which  assembled  in  Washington  recentlv.  and  was  the  president  of  that 
body.  The  proceedings  were  all  in  French,  and  he  informed  himself  somewhat  as 
to  the  duties  of  the  United  States  delegates,  of  which  he  was  chairman.  He  ad¬ 
dressed  this  congress. in  French. and  conducted  all  the  proceedings  in  that  language. 
Gen.  Batcheller  has  had  conferred  on  him  the  decoration  of  the  Great  Cordon  of 
the  order  of  the  crown  of  Italy,  by  King  Humbert.  General  Batcheller  has  re¬ 
ceived  the  decoration  and  was  greatly  surprised  to  receive  such  an  honor.  He  was 
the  president  of  the  Universal  Postal  Congress,  which  met  in  Washington  in  May. 
and  the  decoration  's  conferred  as  an  acknowledgment  of  his  efficient  services  as 
presiding  officer.  Gen.  Batcheller  is  one  of  a  very  few  .Americans  to  be  given  this 
decoration,  and  he  is  deserving  of  the  .great  honor  conferred  upon  him.  In  Nov. 
1897,  President  McKinley  appointed  Gen.  Batcheller  representative  of  the  United 
States  on  the  International  Tribunal  of  Egypt.  This  is  considered  one  of  the  most 
important  offices  within  the  gift  of  the  President  The  tenure  is  for  life,  and  the 
salary  is  $7,500  per  year.  The  duties  are  pleasant,  and  the  society  of  Cairo  is 
agreeable.  Gen.  Batcheller  will  be  one  of  the  three  American  representatives  at¬ 
tached  to  three  international  tribunals  of  Egypt,  which  were  established  as  a  result 
of  negotiations  between  the  Ottoman  and  Egyptian  governments,  and  the  various 
Christian  powers  having  representatives  at  Cairo,  for  the  trial  of  mixed  civil  causes 
arising  between  persons  of  different  foreign  nationalities  and  suits  of  foreigners 
against  natives,  the  Egyptian  government,  and  members  of  the  khedival  family.

These  mixed  tribunals  superseded  the  old  consular  courts.  Each  tribunal  consists 
of  five  judges,  three  of  whom  are  foreign  and  two  natives.  The  foreign  judges  are 
appointed  bj^  the  khedive  on  the  recommendation  of  the  great  powers.  There  are 
several  tribunals  of  original  jurisidiction,  and  a  court  of  appeal  at  Alexandria.

share  in  the  congratulations  that  are  being  extended  in  large 
numbers  to  the  future  Minister  Many  regrets  are  expressed  at 
the  early  departure  of  Miss  Batcheller,  who  for  the  past  two 
seasons  has  been  one  of  the  most  popular  girls  in  society.  She 
is  extremely  clever,  a  brilliant  conversationalist,  devoted  to  out¬

ers  on  the  Washington  golf  links.  Having  spent  more  than  half 
her  life  abroad,  she  speaks  French  and  Spanish  fluently,  and  will

more  than  twenty  years.  A  fine  address  added  to  keen  intellect  and  unusual  judg¬

will  be  particularly  felt  in  Boston,  says  the  Herald,  where  he  had  many  friends,  and 
where  he  had  been  on  duty  on  different  occasions.  Indeed.  Boston  may  be  called

been  constant  and  valuable  for  more  than  thirty  years.  He  entered  the  naval  acad¬ 
emy  as  a  midshipman  in  1859  from  New  York,  his  native  state,  and  had  but  half 
completed  the  course  when  the  breaking  out  of  the  war  sent  him  into  active  service 
at  the  early  age  of  18,  His  war  experiences  were  stirring  and  his  record  an  en¬ 
viable  one,  including  instances  of  marked  individual  action  and  gallantry.  He  won 
his  spurs  by  an  act  of  heroism  on  board  the  Vincennes  This  act  of  heroism  was 
the  volunteer  returning  to  the  Vincennes  (from  the  Richmond)  to  withdraw  the 
slow  match  in  the  powder  magazine  and  save  the  ship.  He  was  promoted  for  gal¬

the  orders  of  Capt.  Melanchthon  Smith,  he  set  fire  to  the  ship,  when  it  became  nec¬

win  the  battle  of  Mobile  bay,  serving  with  credit  on  the  Monongahela,  under  Com¬ 
mander  Strong.  Wherever  he  was  placed,  he  rendered  a  good  account  of  himself, 
and  showed  himself  a  worthy  member  of  that  band  of  young  men  who,  in  the  Civil 
War,  so  fully  supported  the  older  officers  of  the  navy,  and  many  of  whom  are  now 
in  their  turn  ably  filling  its  higher  positions.  At  the  end  of  the  war  he  refused  to 
present  claims  for  promotion  (which  would  undoubtedly  have  been  granted)  as  he 
firmly  maintained  that  promotion  on  the  field  of  battle  was  “all  right  and  glorious,’’ 
but  the  raking  up  of  one’s  past  and  "being  jumped  over  one’s  classmates  in  cold 
blood,”  he  did  not  approve.  After  the  war  and  until  his  promotion  to  commander, 
he  served  in  the  European  and  Asiatic  squadrons  and  at  the  naval  academy.  He 
was  promoted  to  commander  in  1877,  and  was  on  duty  at  the  Boston  yard  for  three 
years,  as  inspector  of  ordnance.  From  1880  to  1882  he  was  inspector  of  guns  at  the 
South  Boston  iron  works.  From  1882  to  1885  he  commanded  the  Galena  in  Eu¬ 
rope,  South  American  and  on  the  North  Atlantic  Station.  While  in  command  of 
the  Galena  he  was  present  at  the  riots  in  Alexandria  and  at  the  subsequent  English 
attack  upon  that  city,  ofifering  an  asylum  on  board  his  ship  to  large  numbers  of  ref¬ 
ugees.  From  1885  to  1888  he  was  inspector  of  the  ist  lighthouse  district,  with 
headquarters  at  Portland,  Me.  From  1888  to  i8qo  he  was  inspector  of  ordnance  at 
the  Norfolk  Navy  Yard,  and  from  there  was  ordered  to  the  command  of  the  Con¬ 
cord,  one  of  the  new  cruisers.  While  on  his  wav  to  the  rendezvous  at  Rio  Janeiro 
at  the  time  of  the  Chilian  troubles  he  was  taken  seriously  ill  with  what  proved  to  be 
consumption,  and  which  resulted  in  his  death.  In  this  long  and  varied  service, 
Commander  Batcheller  displayed  qualities  which  marked  him  as  an  excellent  offi¬ 
cer.  and  one  on  whom  the  department  could  rely  for  any  service.  He  was  devoted 
to  his  profession,  a  thorough  seaman  and  a  representative  of  that  class  of  officers 
which  has  made  our  navy  conspicuous  for  its  discipline  and  efficiency.  He  d.

24,  1885,  Belle  L.  Wentworth,  b.  Jan.  15,  1864.  Albert  R.  Batcheller  was  born  at 
Batchellerville,  Saratoga  Co.,  N.  Y.  He  received  his  education  at  the  district 
school' of  that  place.  During  the  winter  of  1879  he  purchased  one-half  interest  in 
a  general  merchandise  store  at  Wells,  Hamilton  Co.,  N.  Y.,  which  at  that  time  was 
in  the  midst  of  the  lumbering  district  on  the  head  waters  of  the  Socaudaga  river. 
At  the  end  of  the  third  year  he  sold  his  interest  in  the  store  and  purchased  two 
large  tracts  of  timber  on  the  extreme  head  waters  of  the  -Socaudaga  and  Indian 
rivers.  The  purchase  was  made  at  his  own  figures,  because  the  land  was  considered 
inaccessible  by  other  lumbermen.  After  making  the  necessary  improvements,  his 
first  year’s  lumbering  proved  that  his  purchase  was  a  valuable  one.  In  1885  he  mar¬ 
ried  Belle  Wentworth  and  soon  after  purchased  a  large  improved  farm,  with  stock 
and  machinery  complete,  with  the  expectation  of  turning  farmer  as  soon  as  his 
lumbering  was  finished;  but  the  sickness  of  his  father  kept  him  at  his  old  home  un¬ 
til  1890.  He  was  in  Fort  Payne.  Ala.,  during  the  boom,  and  shared  largely  in  the 
profits  of  the  inflated  prices  of  the  first  two  winters,  nor  did  he  wholly  escape  the 
result  of  the  reaction  of  1890-91.  In  1891  he  took  possession  of  his  farm,  and  ex¬ 
pects  to  remain  there  indefinitely.  Res.  Grogan,  Minn.

1878,  Ellen  Elizabeth  Capsey,  b.  June  12,  1852.  The  subject  of  this  sketch  was  born 
in  the  township  of  Stanbridge,  County  of  Missisquoi,  Lower  Canada  (now  Prov¬ 
ince  of  Quebec).  Aug.  20,^1849,  being  the  oldest  son  of  a  family  of  three  sons  and 
one  daughter  of  Addison*  Bacheller,  all  born  in  a  small  plank  house  upon  100 
acres  of  land,  nearly  all  covered  with  timber,  which  the  father,  with  a  very  small 
capital,  had  a  short  time  previously  purchased.  This  being  pioneer  days,  school 
facilities  were  very  meager,  and  the  demands  at  home  did  not  allow  him  to  attend 
the  district  school  in  summer  after  the  age  of  10,  and  sometimes  only  for  a  couple 
of  months  in  the  winter,  until  the  age  of  16,  after  which  he  attended  the  academy 
at  Bedford,  the  chief  village  of  the  township,  during  the  winter  months  until  the 
age  of  19.  At  the  age  of  15  his  father  sold  the  home  place  and  bought  his  mother’s 
twin  brother’s  (Marchal  Smith)  place,  being  part  of  the  old  homestead  of  his 
grandfather  (David  Smith),  which  is  located  on  Pike  river  two  miles  from  the 


BATCHELLER  GENEALOGY. 


village  of  Bedford  (now  town  of  Bedford,  including  this  old  homestead).  He 
remained  on  the  farm  until  21  years  of  age,  receiving  a  thorough  education  in 
farming  under  the  instruction  of  his  father,  who  was  said  to  be  one  of  the  most 
successhil  and  practical  farmers  in  the  county  of  Missisquoi.  At  the  age  of  2i 
he  was  one  of  the  first  students  to  apply  for  admission  into  the  Science  Depart¬ 
ment  established  in  connection  with  the  McGill  University,  Montreal,  Sept.  1871. 
Here  he  took  a  four-years  course  and  graduated  in  May,  1875,  with  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Applied  Science  and  honors  in  civil  and  mechanical  engineering. 
Immediately  after  graduating,  and  for  more  than  one  year,  he  was  employed  by 
the  city  of  Montreal  on  the  survey  of  the  great  ward  map  of  the  city,  costing 
several  thousand  dollars.  During  the  same  time  apprenticed  himself  as  a  Pro¬ 
vincial  Land  Surveyor’s  clerk  and  passed  the  preliminary  and,  in  Jan.  1877,  the 
final  examination  before  the  Provincial  Board  of  Examiners,  as  a  Provincial  Land 
Surveyor  for  the  Province  of  Quebec,  which  is  a  life  office.  In  March,  1877,  he 
located  in  Bedford  and  opened  up  an  office  for  surveying,  map  work,  etc.  As  a 
Provincial  Land  Surveyor  he  was  employed  several  years  on  the  Cadastral  Sur¬ 
veys  for  the  Province  of  Quebec,  by  contract,  which  surveys  cost  several  hundred 
thousand  dollars.  According  to  the  decision  of  the  director  of  these  surveys  he. 
was  given  the  honor  of  doing  the  most  perfect  work  of  any  of  the  many  score  of 
surveyors  employed  upon  this  work.  In  1879  he  was  engaged  and  had  the  super¬ 
vision  of  the  location  and  construction  of  the  last  six  miles  of  the  Lake  Cham¬ 
plain  &  St.  Lawrence  Junction  Railway  in  the  Township  of  Stanbridge,  also  the 
drawing  of  the  plans  and  superintending  the  construction  of  the  large  bridge  of 
said  railway  in  the  village  of  Bedford,  passing  over  Pike  River.  He  was  the  first 
to  successfully  introduce  into  the  Township  of  Stanbridge  and  County  of  Missis¬ 
quoi  the  building  of  the  long-span  Howe  truss  bridge,  and  was  employed  to  draw 
up  plans  and  specifications  and  superintend  the  erection  of  the  most  expensive 
bridge  ever  built  in  these  corporations.  In  December,  1878,  he  married  Ellen 
Elizabeth  Capsey,  dau.,  of  Thomas  Capsey,  clerk  of  the  court  and  rec.  treas.  of 
the  County  of  Missisquoi.  To  them  have  been  born  four  sons  and  two  daughters, 
five  of  which  are  living,  the  eldest  daughter  dying  in  infancy  from  whooping 
cough  at  the  age  of  2I  months.  In  1880  he  erected  a  fine  brick  residence  and 
office  in  the  village  of  Bedford  at  a  cost  of  over  $6,000.  Res.  Bedford,  P.  Q.

m.  in  Weaver,  Minn.,  Aug.  5,  1880,  Harriet  Anna  Copeland,  b.  Aug.  5,  1855,  dau. 
of  Allen  A.  To  no  man  m  the  past  or  present  probably  is  the  State  of  New 
Hampshire  more  deeply  indebted  for  conspicuously  efficient  services  in  the  field 
of  historical  and  biographical  literature  than  to  Hon.  Stillman  Batchellor  of  Lit¬ 
tleton.  Mr.  Batchellor  is  a  native  of  the  town  of  Bethlehem,  N.  H.  He  is  a 
.graduate  of  Dartmouth  College  in  the  class  of  1872,  receiving  the  degree  of  A.  M. 
in  course  in  1875.  He  is  a  lawyer  in  active  practice  in  Littleton,  Grafton  county, 
the  White  Mountain  region  of  the  State.  He  is  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Bing¬ 
ham,  Mitchell  &  Batchellor,  and  twenty  years’  association  with  Mr.  Bingham, 
as  pupil  and  teacher,  is  a  voucher  for  a  good  lawyer  and  an  honest  one,  and  Mr. 
Batchellor  has  never  discredited  his  credentials.  The  business  of  the  firm  has 
been  varied  and  extensive,  and  Mr.  Batchellor  has  had  a  professional  experience 
that  is  accorded  to  few  men  of  his  years.  A  mere  technical  lawyer  he  could  never 
become,  but  he  learned  to  take  those  broad  and  liberal  views  of  legal  questions 
which  leave  the  narrow  precision  without  a  standing,  amazed,  that  despite  its 
iron-clad  rules,  a  more  liberal  opponent  has  carried  off  the  verdict.  As  a  result 
of  natural  aptitude,  superior  training,  a  large  experience  and  an  abundance  of 
strong  common  sense.  Mr.  Batchellor  stands  to-day  among  the  leading  lawyers 
of  northern  New  Hampshire.  It  may  well  be  expected  that  the  future  holds  in 
store  for  him  the  choicest  rewards  of  the  profession.  In  1877  he  was  representa¬ 
tive  of  Littleton  in  the  New  Hampshire  Legislature,  and  was  twice  re-elected. 
.Although  a  member  of  the  minority  in  his  three  terms  in  the  Legislature,  he  was 
during  the  time  chairman  of  the  house  committee  on  the  State  library.  For 
almost  twenty  years  he  has  labored  zealously  and  intelligently  for  the  interests  of 
the  library.  In  1878,  when  the  institution  had  but  few  sets  of  the  law  reports, 
either  of  the  State  or  Federal  courts,  he  reported  and  secured  the  passage  of  a 
joint  resolution  which  provided  means  for  completing  this  department  of  the 
library.  From  this  period  he  was  an  active  promoter  of  the  interests  of  the  insti¬ 
tution.  In  1887  he  became  by  popular  election  an  executive  councillor,  and  at 
once  devoted  himself  to  certain  reforms  in  the  condition  of  the  State  library.  The 
appropriation  for  the  purchase  and  repair  of  books  and  incidental  expenses  had 
been  only  $1,000  a  year,  and  but  half  of  this  was  a  permanent  allowance.  Mr. 
Batchellor  procured  legislation  at  the  session  of  1888  which  gave  the  library  a 
fixed  allowance  of  $3,000  a  year.  He  was  appointed  a  trustee  of  the  State  library 
on  Sept.  25,  1888,  for  the  remainder  of 'the  unexpired  term  caused  by  the  resigna¬ 
tion  of  Judge  William  M.  Chase,  namely  until  Oct.  4.  1889,  for  a  full  term  of  three 
years.  He  was  reappointed  Nov.  29,  1892,  for  another  term  of  three  years.  In 
1889  lie  drew  and  procured  the  passage  of  an  act  for  the  incorporation  of  the  New 
Hampshire  Library  Association,  which  was  the  first  of  its  kind.  He  has  been 
corresponding  secretary  of  the  association  since  its  organization.  He  was  also  a 
inember  of  its  committee  on  legislation,  which,  in  i8qi,  procured  the  enactment 
in  New  Hampshire  of  what  was  substantially  the  Massachusetts  public  library  act, 
under  which  a  State  commission  was  appointed;  and  as  a  result,  more  than  a

for  years  been  one  of  the  advocates  of  every  reasonable  plan  for  the  enlargement 
of  the  accommodations  for  the  State  library,  and  gave  sufficient  aid  to  the  legisla¬

pleted  and  occupied,  and  will  be  one  of  the  conspicuous  modern  libraries;  it  will 
be  amply  able  to  meet  all  the  demands  of  increase  for  a  long  period  of  the  future 
Substantially  all  the  .administrative  measures  in  the  State  library  legislation  of 
1895  were  formulated  by  Mr.  Batchellor.  These  important  and  progressive  provis¬ 
ions  of  law  enabled  the  State  to  avail  itself  of  the  splendid  opportunities  for 
library  development  ofTered  by  the  accommodations  in  the  new  edifice,  a  complete 
equipment  and  a  reorganized  corps  of  library  executives.  By  means  of  the  legis¬ 
lation  thus  brought  about  step  by  step  and  by  utilizing  the  ample  facilities  now 
provided,  the  New  Hampshire  State  library  is  now  in  the  front  rank  of  institutions 
of  its  kind  under  State  patronage.  In  1895  Mf-  Batchellor  was  one  of  the  princi¬ 
pal  movers  for  the  establishment  of  a  free  public  library  at  Littleton,  and  he  was 
a  member  of  the  first  board  of  trustees  of  that  institution.  He  is  an  active  mem¬ 
ber  of  the  American  Library  Association  and  of  the  State  library  section.  He 
was  appointed  editor  and  compiler  of  the  State  papers  Oct.  9,  i8go,  which  office 
he  now  holds.  Eight  of  his  volumes  of  this  work  have  already  been  published, 
and  he  has  others  in  active  preparation. 

Many  papers  in  more  general  literature  have  emanated  from  him.  Some  of  the 
best  known  of  these  are:  “Report  on  the  Schools  of  L..  1875;”  “Hist,  of  the  Cla'-s

passed  away  yesterday  afternoon.  Isaac  H.  Batchellor  died  at  his  late  residence. 
No.  1337  Corona  St.,  Denver  Co.,  from  the  effects  of  paralysis.  He  was  66  years 
of  age  and  leaves  a  widow  and  two  children.  Isaac  Batchellor  arrived  in  Denver 
late  in  1859.  He  came  direct  from  Chicago  and  at  once  went  into  the  mountains 
mining.  In  the  year  following  his  migration  westward  he  settled  in  Leadville 
and  there  remained  several  years.  Afterwards  he  came  to  Denver  and,  purchas¬ 
ing  a  ranch  near  the  city,  engaged  in  stock-raising.  There  he  remained  a  number 
of  j-ears,  combining  other  occupations  and  interests  with  his  cattle  industry.  At 
one  time  he  was  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Chatfield  &  Batchellor  of  Leadville. 
He  twice  held  public  office,  being  a  member  of  the  Territorial  Legislature  in  1872 
and  County  Commissioner  of  Arapahoe  County  four  years  later.  His  fortune 
fluctuated  with  the  times,  and  once  in  his  life  he  was  reputed  to  be  worth  much 
money.  Mr.  Batchellor  was  always  of  a  roving  disposition,  and  this  trend  was 
not  lost  even  in  his  later  days.  Born  in  Maine,  when  still  a  lad  he  conceived  a 
desire  for  a  seafaring  life  and  shipped  aboard  a  United  States  man-of-war.  For 
three  years  he  cruised  off  the  west  coast  of  Africa,  seeing  much  service  fighting 
slavers  and  protecting  commerce.  Finally  returning  to  his  native  country,  young 
Batchellor  moved  westward  by  States,  his  last  stopping  place  before  coming  to 
Colorado  being  the  then  struggling  town  of  Chicago.  Like  almost  all  of  those 
men  who  made  the  early  history  of  this  State,  Mr.  Batchellor  had  many  friends. 
His  life,  although  a  roving  one,  was  yet  domestic,  and  his  two  terms  of  public 
service  were  thrust  upon  him  rather  than  sought  for.  Of  late  years  he  has  led  a 
secluded  existence  within  his  own  circle  of  acquaintances,  and  had  the  good-wil! 
of  all  who  knew  him.  Res.  Denver,  Col.,  1337  Corona  St.

22,  1892.  Rev.  C.  W.  Batcheller,  now  a  superannuate  of  Northwestern  Iowa  Con¬ 
ference,  was  born  in  Cortland  Co.,  N.  Y.  When  about  5  years  of  age  was  pow- 
erfuly  convicted,  and  when  about  7  years  old  was  thoroughly  and  happily  con¬ 
verted,  near  Cazenovia,  N.  Y.  In  a  protracted  meeting  conducted  by  his  father, 
when  about  100  were  converted,  a  padlock  was  broken  to  gain  admittance  into- 
school-house.  In  Delphi  the  late  Jesse  T.  Peck  was  his  first  school  teacher.  For 
about  a  year  he  took  a  company  of  boys  with  him  to  a  barn,  where  he  prayed  with 
them  and  talked  to  them  about  preparing  to  die  Has  always  been  accustomed 
to  pray.  In  1843,  with  others,  held  young  people’s  prayer  meetings  in  Freedom, 
La  Salle  Co.,  Ill.;  prayed  much  with  each  other  and  with  the  people,  the  five  repre¬ 
senting  four  denominations,  and  worked  a  year  together  with  good  results.  He 
entered  the  Rock  River  Seminary  in  1844;  worked  his  way  three  years,  ringing 
bell,  kindling  fires  and  sweeping  halls,  etc.,  and  cutting  wood  at  8  cents  per  hour, 
cutting  all  the  knots  left  by  other  students.  Joined  Rock  River  Conference  July 
5.  1847.  His  first  circuit  was  in  six  counties,  and  his  first  year’s  work,  with  J. 
Taylor,  brought  130  into  church — a  year  of  much  fasting  and  prayer,  and  thor¬ 
ough,  exhaustive  and  earnest  work.  Received  $10  in  money,  also  an  entire  suit 
of  Kentucky  jeans,  which  he  wore  to  Conference.  Of  his  salary  he  gave  $S  to 
the  China  mission.  One  of  the  severest  trials  of  his  life  occurred  that  year;  the 
parents  of  an  only  child  gave  him  his  choice  to  give  up  the  ministry  or  their 
daugliter  (liis  first  love).  With  inexpressible  sorrow  he  said  good-by — parted

with  the  one  for  whom  he  would  have  given  his  life,  .^fter  having  preached  eight 
years  in  Rock  River  Conference  he  entered  and  worked  his  way  in  the  Garrett 
Biblical  Institute,  Evanston,  Ill.  Drs.  Dempster,  Kidder  and  Baumster  were  his 
teachers — three  of  the  grandest  men  of  Methodism.  In  the  fall  of  1866,  having 
finished  a  successful  year  at  Fort  Dodge,  la..  Bishop  Ames  asked  if  he  was  willing 
to  go  to  Yankton,  Dak.;  he  said  yes,  anywhere  the  church  wished  to  send  him. 
So  he  was  sent  to  Yankton.  In  addition  to  church  work,  he  assisted  in  enlisting 
a  regiment  for  defense  against  hostile  Indians;  was  commissioned  by  Gov.  Falk 
for  two  years  as  captain  of  a  company  of  cavalry.  The  most  of  his  years  of  effect¬ 
ive  labor  have  been  on  the  frontier,  in  advance  of  other  Christian  workers — organ¬ 
izing  the  work.  Many  thrilling  incidents  might  be  narrated.  Has  assisted  in 
refitting,  finishing  and  erecting  several  churches  and  parsonages.  Has  seen  thou¬ 
sands  of  souls  converted  to  God.  Never  found  a  neighborhood  where  he  failed 
to  have  good  revival  and  many  convertions,  many  times  continuing  series  of 
meetings  six  weeks.  On  Le  Mars  Circuit,  Iowa,  in  three  counties,  with  only 
twelve  members  to  begin  with,  in  three  years  had  five  circuits  and  five  preachers 
with  235  members  on  his  part  of  work.  Then  on  a  large  circuit,  100  miles  long, 
fifty  broad,  in  six  counties,  in  Dakota,  where  none  of  our  preachers  had  ever  been 
sent — away  from  his  family  at  one  time  four  and  a  half  months,  having  thoroughly 
provided  for  it — with  thirty-three  appointments  he  gathered  about  240  members 
and  probationers  in  one  year,  sleeping  on  the  ground  and  in  a  light  wagon  more 
than  a  hundred  times  in  frontier  life,  often  going  without  meals.  Res.  Mt.  Ver¬

and  Sarah  (Holden)  Batcheller.  who  came  to  this  county  a  few  years  prior  to 
David’s  birth.  The  family  moved  to  Ottawa  in  the  40’s,  where  David  attended 
school.  He  was  a  clerk  in  John  Stout’s  store,  and  also  in  Bean  &  Morgan’s  and 
Harry  Clark’s  stores  before  the  war  broke  out.  On  Oct.  16,  1862,  he  enlisted  in

Henshaw’s  Battery  of  light  artillery  and  for  a  long  time  was  at  Louisville,  Ky., 
and  was  with  this  famous  organization  all  through  the  war*  He  was  promoted 
to  sergeant  and  was  one  of  the  best  gunners  in  the  battery.  He  was  discharged  at 
Springfield  July  i8,  1865.  He  was  with  his  battery  in  the  action  at  Campbell’s 
Station  in  Tennessee,  with  his  command,  where  the  battery  suffered  severe  loss, 
and  he  did  gallant  service  there.  After  his  return  from  the  war  he  took  a  course 
in  a  Chicago  business  college.  He  then  entered  the  store  of  H.  J.  Gillen  as  book¬ 
keeper,  and  was  also  with  D.  Heenan  &  Co.  for  a  time,  when  he  was  placed  in  the 
management  of  the  Vermillion  Co.’s  store  at  Streator,  which  position  he  held  for 
eight  years.  Upon  his  return  he  entered  the  employ  of  A.  A.  Colley  as  book¬ 
keeper  and  accountant.  He  was  a  member  of  the  various  Masonic  orders,  and  was 
secretary  of  each  for  a  number  of  years,  and  was  an  honored  member.  He  was 
Past  Commander  of  Streator  G.  A.  R.  Post,  and  had  held  other  positions  of  honor. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  A.  O.  U.  W.  at  the  time  of  his  death.  He  was  an  ardent 
Republican,  and  his  methodical  and  systematic  abilities  made  him  a  valuable  elec¬ 
tion  officer.  Mr.  Batcheller  was  married  in  Ottawa  to  Benjamina  Baker  of  Colum¬

large  school  and  to  keep  it  in  successful  working  order  in  this  critical  age  requires 
a  man  of  real  genius.  He  must  be  more  than  good  in  many  diversified  depart¬ 
ments  of  intellectual  labor.  To  be  possessed  of  learning  counts,  for  a  good  deal, 
but  how  many  have  made  shipwreck  of  teaching  with  that  alone!  One  must  have 
experience,  the  art  of  management,  and  be  a  good  organizer  as  well,  said  the 
Elmira,  N.  Y.,  Journal  in  July,  1895.  The  position  is  a  trying  one.  Many  are 
successful  for  a  short  time  and  then  find  it  necessary  to  go  elsewhere.  To  succeed 
in  the  long  run,  as  before  stated,  requires  a  man  of  genius,  and  such  a  one  is  Prin¬ 
cipal  Batcheller.  In  1862  he  was  born  at  Stockton,  Chautauqua  County,  N.  Y. 
His  sire  was  J.  E.  Batcheller,  a  thrifty  farmer  and  a  man  of  intelligence  and  per¬ 
sonal  influence.  The  son  spent  the  first  fifteen  years  of  his  life  tilling  the  soil. 
Here  he  developed  a  magnificent  physique,  and  to-day,  standing  six  feet  or  there¬ 
abouts  in  height,  and  pulling  down  the  scales  set  at  the  220  notch,  he  presents  a 
splendid  contrast  to  the  usually  frail  man,  worn  out  by  nervous  strain,  who  does 
the  duties  of  the  old-time  pedagogue.  He  looks  what  he  is.  a  strong  man  physi¬ 
cally  and  intellectually.  He  went  to  the  village  school  and  later  to  the  State  Nor¬ 
mal  School  at  Fredonia,  N.  Y.,  where  he  took  the  Classical  Course.  Since  he  has 
taken  a  post-graduate  course  in  the  Illinois  Wesleyan  University,  and  this  institu¬ 
tion  has  recently  conferred  upon  him  the  degree  of  Ph.  B.  In  the  winter  of  i8St  he 
commenced  teaching  at  Gerry  in  Chautauqua  County.  N.  Y.  Later  he  taught  at 
Perrysburg,  Stockton  and  Ripley.  From  1884  to  1886  he  was  principal  of  the 
Union  school  and  Academy  at  Mayville.  At  the  organization  of  School  No. 
Thirty-nine,  at  Buffalo.  Principal  Batcheller  was  appointed  by  Superintendent 
Crooker  as  principal.  He  labored  here  successfullv  for  three  years.  In  1889  he 
was  transferred  to  No.  Forty-five.  This  is  one  of  the  very  best  schools  in  the 
city  and  has  over  1.300  pupils.  Twenty-seven  teachers  do  duty  here,  many  of 
them  being  Normal  graduates.  Principal  Batcheller  is  working  along  the  line  01

and  the  most  perfect  order  prevails.  Under  the  present  management  the  school 
has  increased  two-fold  in  attendance  and  the  number  of  teachers  employed.  Prin¬ 
cipal  Batcheller  is  a  member  of  the  Principals’  Association  of  Buffalo,  and  has 
been  on  the  executive  committee  ever  since  its  organization.  This  year  he  was 
offered  the  presidency,  but  refused,  as  his  duties  in  other  directions  absorbed  so 
much  of  his  time.  He  is  also  a  member  of  the  N.  Y.  Teachers’  Association.  Last 
year  at  Syracuse  he  was  elected  president  of  the  State  Council  of  Grammar  School 
Principals.  In  a  fraternal  way  he  belongs  to  Queen  City  Lodge  338,  F.  and  A.  M., 
and  to  Keystone  Chapter,  163,  R.  A.  M.  For  many  years  he  has  been  treasurer  of 
the  board  of  trustees  of  the  Richmond  Avenue  M.  E.  Church,  of  which  he  is  also  a 
member.  His  wife,  formerly  Miss  Saville  H.  Rickenbrode,  was  also  a  teacher.

ham,  David,  John,  Joseph),  b.  Grafton,  Mass.,  Sept.  27,  1834;  m.  in  Boston,  Mass., 
S.  Ada  Cummings.  Up  to  the  age  of  seventeen  years  Mr.  Batcheller  attended  the 
Grafton  High  School.  Later  he  graduated  from  Barre  Academy,  Vermont,  in 
1855.  Accepting  a  position  with  the  old  and  well-known  Boston  dry-goods  firm 
of  Turner,  Wilson  &  Co.,  he  remained  with  them  until  1857,  when  he  went  to 
New  York;  and  a  little  after,  under  the  firm  name  of  Nichols  &  Batcheller,  en¬ 
gaged  in  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  crinolines,  hoop-skirts  and  corsets.  From 
this  partnership  Mr.  Batcheller  withdrew  in  1865,  and  from  this  period  dates  not 
only  the  beginning  of  the  house  of  Langdon,  Batcheller  &  Co.,  but  also  the  real 
beginning  of  the  great  world-wide  corset  industry.  The  magnitude  of  the  busi¬ 
ness  may  be  inferred  from  the  fact  that  the  value  of  domestic  manufactures  in 
this  line,  for  the  United  States,  now  aggregates  more  than  $12,000,000  annually. 
It  was  in  this  year.  1865,  that  the  original  firm  of  Thomson,  Langdon  &  Co.,  of 
which  Mr.  Batcheller  now  became  an  active  and  leading  member,  established  a 
factory  for  the  corset  branch  of  the  business  in  London,  England.  Already  branch 
houses  had  been  established  in  various  parts  of  Europe,  a  bold  step  for  an  Amer¬ 
ican  firm  at  that  day.  Presently,  however,  the  American  market  was  found  so 
large  that  the  foreign  branches  were  discontinued.  In  1876  the  extensive  factory 
and  plant  at  Bridgeport,  Conn.,  was  established  for  the  manufacture  of  the  now 
celebrated  Patent  (jlove-Fitting  Corsets.  Two  years  later  Mr.  Thomson,  the 
London  partner,  retired.  Mr.  Langdon  took  the  management  of  the  financial 
affairs  of  the  firm;  while  Mr.  Batcheller,  as  the  executive  man  of  the  business,  has 
mainly  made  it  what  it  is.  His  ability,  enterprise,  and  personal  energy  in  unre¬ 
mitting  attention  to  every  detail  are  quite  remarkable.  No  business  man  in  New 
York  in  any  line  of  business  has  acquired  a  more  solid  and  enviable  reputation. 
In  1892  Mr.  Langdon  retired,  and  Mr.  Batcheller  became  sole  proprietor  of  the 
business.  Later  he  associated  in  business  with  him  his  brother,  William  H. 
Bateheller,  and  George  C.  Miller.  Under  the  management  of  Mr.  Batcheller,  the 
eminent  success  of  the  house,  with  the  rapid  enlargement  of  its  facilities  and 
increasing  importance  of  its  trade,  is  not  a  surprise.  The  factory  and  plant  at 
Bridgeport  have  received  frequent  additions  and  extensions,  so  that  in  1892  the 
productive  capacity  increased  fully  one-third;  and  it  is  now  one  of  the  largest 
plants  as  well  as  the  most  complete  and  admirably  equipped  corset  factory  in 
existence.  The  working  force  numbers  fully  1,000  hands  and  the  productive 
capacity  is  enormous.  This  flattering  success  is  only  the  legitimate  reward  of 
sound  judgment  combined  with  rare  executive  ability  and  unflagging  zeal  in  the 
upbuilding  of  a  great  industry.  Still,  Mr.  Batcheller’s  absorption  in  business  is 
not  such  as  to  exclude  him  from  soeial  life  and  the  duties  of  citizenship.  He  is 
an  active  member  of  the  Colonial  Club,  the  Republican  and  West-Side  Repub¬ 
lican  clubs,  also  of  the  West- End  Property  Owners’  Association,  one  of  the  board 
of  trustees  and  the  treasurer  of  St.  Andrews’  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  West

a  close  observer  and  good  judge  of  human  nature,  and  to  this  fact  must  be  attrib¬

by  any  business  house.  He  has  a  literary  turn  of  mind,  and  though  fond  of

Mass.  ^  At  the  breaking  out  of  the  Civil  War,  at  the  age  of  20  years,  Aug.  5,  1861,  he 
enlisted  in  the  21st  Massachusetts  Regiment  for  three  years.  The  Regiment  left  for 
the  seat  of  war  Aug.,  1861,  and  went  into  camp  at  Annapolis,  Md.,  joining  the  ist 
Brigade,  2d  Divdsion  of  the  pth  Army  Corps,  General  Bursnide  in  command.  He 
served  mainly  throughout  the  war,  or  until  wounded  at  Cold  Harbor.  He  was  in 
service  for  over  three  years  and  participated  in  the  following  battles:  Roanoke 
Island,  Newbern,  Goldsboro,  Kingston,  W’hitehall,  Little  Washington,  Manas¬

Knoxville,  Wilderness  (five  days).  Spottsylvania  (four  days).  North  Anna  River 
and  Cold  Harbor.  .After  the  battle  of  Spottsylvania  he  was  promoted  to  Sergeant 
Major.  The  Twenty-first  Regiment,  of  which  he  was  a  member,  was  recruited  at 
“Camp  Lincoln,”  at  Worcester.  The  men  belonged  to  the  central  and  western 
portions  of  the  Commonwealth.  This  was  one  of  the  five  regiments  recruited  in 
Massachusetts  for  secial  service,  designed  originallv  to  be  commanded  by  Gen. 
Thomas  W.  Sherman,  but  which  command  was  afterwards  given  to  General  Burn¬ 
side;  Augustus  Morse,  of  Leominster,  one  of  the  three  major-generals  of  militia  of 
the  commonwealth,  was  commissioned  colonel.  A.  C.  Maggi,  of  New  Bedford, 
who  had  volunteered  as  quartermaster-sergeant  in  the  Third  Regiment  of  the  three 
months’  militia,  was  commissioned  lieutenant-colonel.  He  was  an  Italian  by  birth, 
a  citizen  by  choice,  and  a  thoroughly  educated  officer.  William  S.  Clarke,  pro¬ 
fessor  in  Amherst  College,  was  commissioned  as  major.  This  regiment,  after  a 
brief  stay  in  camp,  started  for  the  seat  of  war  Aug.  23,  1861,  and  first  encamped  at 
Annapolis,  where  for  nearly  five  months  it  performed  the  duty  of  protecting  the 
road  to  the  Capital,  and  keeping  the  state  of  Maryland  in  the  Union.  In  January, 
1862,  it  started  for  North  Carolina;  its  colonel  who  had  been  brigadier-general  in 
the  militia,  resigned  soon  after  their  arrival,  and  Lieutenant-Colonel  Clarke  was 
commissioned  colonel  next  day.  It  made  part  of  General  Burnside’s  expedition, 
and  was  engaged  in  the  battles  at  Roanoke  Island,  at  Newbern,  and  at  Camden. 
The  regiment  remained  South  till  the  famous  campaign  of  General  Pope,  in  July, 
1862,  when  the  command  of  General  Burnside  was  sent  in  as  a  reinforcement,  and 
it  landed  at  Aqua  Creek  so  as  to  take  part  in  the  battles  at  second  Bull  Run,  South 
Mountain,  Chantilly,  Antietam  and  Fredericksburgh  At  Falmouth  it  remained  on 
picket  duty  through  the  months  of  December  and  January,  and  broke  camp  with¬ 
out  regret  Feb.  9,  1863,  reaching  Paris,  Ky.,  April  i.  where  the  State  Fair  grounds

ter  and  title  to  respect  of  Massachusetts  troops  at  the  hands  of  Western  men.  In 
July  they  were  at  Lexington,  and  afterwards  at  Camp  Nelson,  and  started  for  East 
Tennessee  Sept.  12,  marching  one  hundred  and  eighty-five  miles  to  Knoxville. 
Oct.  II,  a  spirited  engagement  occurred  at  Blue  Springs,  when  the  Twenty-first 
drove  the  enemy  from  its  position,  and  pursued  it  twenty-six  miles,  having  marched 
fifty-one  miles  to  reach  that  point.  From  this  time  to  the  end  of  the  year  their 
service  was  severe,  and  their  conduct  heroic.  Thev  are  said  to  have  marched  and 
countermarched  through  storm  and  cold  without  tents,  and  on  half  rations,  poorly 
clothed  and  badly  shod,  twenty  men  doing  duty  through  November  barefoot,  and 
yet  doing  their  duty  cheerfully  and  with  such  alacrity  as  to  have  acquired  the 
name  of  the  “Fighting  Regiment.”  At  the  siege  of  Knoxville  they  did  active  duty, 
being  one  night  picket  and  the  next  in  the  rifle-pits:  and  the  24th  of  November,  ni

company  with  another  picked  regiment,  they  made  one  of  the  most  brilliant 
charges  of  the  siege,  driving  the  enemy  from  the  houses,  the  fences,  and  the  rifle- 
pits  in  the  neighborhood,  and  keeping  up  the  work  constantly  till  the  siege  was 
raised  the  5th  of  December;  and  though  only  able  to  have  for  their  subsistence  two 
ears  of  corn  per  day,  yet  following  hard  on  the  footsteps  of  the  retreating  enemy, 
into  the  woods  of  East  Tennessee;  and  then,  with  the  memory  of  what  they  had 
passed  through,  and  realizing  what  was  before  them,  half  starved  as  they  were, 
they  crowned  their  service  of  two  and  a  half  years  by  further  enlistment  for  three 
years.  If  any  men  ever  deserved  well  of  their  country,  surely  such  as  these  did. 
It  is  worthy  of  note  that  all  but  thirty-six  of  the  regiment,  who  were  alive  and 
present  for  duty,  became  veterans.  In  January,  1864,  they  came  home  on  a  fur¬ 
lough,  and  were  honored  with  an  enthusiastic  reception  at  Worcester  as  a  regi¬ 
ment.  Returning,  they  were  reviewed  and  welcomed  back  by  President  Lincoln, 
and  marching  by  the  battle-fields  of  Bull  Run  and  Bristow’s  Station,  to  the  Rapi-

dan,  to  co-operate  with  the  army  of  the  Potomac  in  the  final  “pounding  out”  of 
the  Rebellion,  they  made  a  part  of  that  force  with  which  Grant  said  he  should 
"fight  it  out  on  that  line  if  it  took  all  summer.”  They  were  on  the  road  to  Rich¬ 
mond  all  that  year;  and  in  the  Wilderness,  at  Spottsylvania,  at  North  Anna,  Cold 
Harbor,  Petersburg,  Welden  Railroad,  Poplar  Spring  Creek,  and  at  Hatches  Run, 
they  met  the  shock  of  arms,  and  proved  veterans  in  deed  as  well  as  in  name. 
Major  Batcheller  was  through  it  all  and  served  in  many  daring  charges  and  all  the 
engagements.  After  his  return  to  Worcester  he  joined  the  Worcester  Brass  Band, 
and  received  a  good  musical  education  and  training  from  the  skilled  hands  of 
Thomas  Richardson.  Some  years  ago  he  went  to  Binghamton,  N.  Y.,  since  which 
time  he  has  made  music  his  chief  study;  teaching  band  music.  He  was  leader  of 
one  of  the  principal  bands  in  that  city,  which  bears  the  name  of  Batcheller.  Res.

BATCHELLER  GENEALOGY. 


1684.  MOSES  FRANKLIN  BATCHELLER  (Alexander,  Moses,  Abner, 
Abraham,  David,  John,  Joseph),  b.  Burrillville.  R.  L,  Jan.  3,  1855:  m.  in  French- 
ford,  Iowa,  Sept.  13,  1876,  Eva  Elzina  Emerson,  b.  April  30,  1855.  Moses  F.  Batch- 
eller  was  born  in  the  town  of  Burrillville,  County  of  Providence,  State  of  Rhode  Is¬ 
land.  His  parents  moved  to  Houston  Co.,  Minn.,  when  he  was  one  year  and  a 
half  old,  and  lived  there  eight  years,  and  then  moved  to  Vineland,  New  Jersey, 
stayed  there  six  months  and  then  moved  back  to  Minn.,  the  same  county,  and  lived 
there  three  years.  Then  moved  near  Cedar  Falls,  Blackhawk  Co.,  Iowa.  From 
the  age  of  17  to  30  he  dealt  in  horses  quite  largely;  handled  stable  horses  and  ran 
threshing  machines.  He  has  owned  considerable  real  estate  and  has  dealt  quite 
largely  in  it.  Is  now  engaged  in  farming  in  Cedar  Falls.  Has  traveled  extensively 
through  that  section  of  country.  Some  ten  or  twelve  years  ago  (1884)  while  look¬ 
ing  at  land  in  eastern  Nebraska,  crossing  the  Indian  reserve,  he  met  eight  or  nine 
Sioux  Indians  on  the  wild,  open  prairies  of  Nebraska,  seven  miles  from  a  house, 
and  a-foot  at  that.  All  the  friend  he  had  that  time  was  a  little  32-caliber  revolver; 
but  they  passed  him  by,  strung  along  two  or  three  rods  a  part  after  they  had  passed 
him.  Then  he  thought  they  would  come  around  with  some  bluff  after  his  wish¬ 
bone,  for  lots  of  white  men  have  been  lost  there  and  never  heard  of  after  that  time 
— if  they  could  catch  them  in  the  right  place.  Moses’  hair  stood  on  end;  it  was 
nearly  dark  when  he  met  them,  and  alter  a  little  the  wolves  set  up  their  howl,  but 
did  not  faze  him,  like  the  red-skins;  and  he  finally  escaped.  Res.  Cedar  Falls,

rey,  b.  April  27.  1858.  Stephen  E.  Batch- 
eller,  youngest  son  of  Dr.  Alexander  and 
Kezia  (Wallin)  Batcheller,  was  born  in 
Wilmington.  Houston  Co.,  Minnesota, 
May  29,  1858.  When  he  was  7  years  of 
age  his  fatlier  bought  a  farm  near  Cedar 
Falls,  lovva,  and  moved  there  with  his 
family.  There  Stephen  spent  his  boyhood 
days,  attending  the  district  school  in  the 
vicinity  of  his  home,  the  public  schools 
of  Cedar  Falls,  and  later  the  Iowa  State 
Normal  School.walking  a  distance  of  five 
miles  to  and  from  school.  When  21  years 
of  age  Mr.  Batcheller  located  a  home¬ 
stead  of  one  hundred  and  sixty  acres  of 
land,  about  five  miles  from  Neleigh,  Elk- 
horn  Co..  Nebraska.  But  owing  to  the 
rigor  of  the  climate  and  the  hardships  to 
be  encountered  in  improving  a  farm  in 
the  far  West,  in  those  days;  and,  as  Mr. 
Batcheller  was  not  naturally  of  a  strong 
constitution,  he  decided  to  abandon  his 
western  project,  and  consequently  dis¬ 
posed  of  his  land.  About  this  time  the 
Sioux  City  &  Pacific  Railroad  Company 
was  extending  its  road  to  the  Black 


Hills,  and  J.  J.  Brown  of  Council  Bluffs,  Iowa,  who  had  a  contract  to 
grade  one  hundred  miles  of  the  road,  engaged  Mr.  Batcheller  to  take  charge 
of  the  general  supply  store  then  located  at  Neleigh,  Nebraska.  Later  Mr.

Batcheller  was  engaged  in  the  cattle  business  with  Sturgess,  Goodale  &  Co.,  of 
Wyoming  Territory.  This  was,  at  this  time,  one  of  the  most  extensive  cattle 
ranches  in  the  United  States,  keeping  twenty-five  thousand  cows;  and,  in  the  fall 
of  1881,  shipped  six  thousand  cattle  to  Chicago.  At  the  age  of  24  years  Mr.  Batch¬ 
eller  left  the  Western  States  to  make  for  himself  a  home  in  New  England,  the  home 
of  his  forefathers,  which  he  had  always  had  a  great  desire  to  see.  He  read  med¬ 
icine  for  two  years,  but  finally  decided  to  make  the  drug  business  his  profession. 
In  1886  he  married  Emma  Lillian,  daughter  of  Hon.  Arlon  Mowry,  a  prominent 
banker  and  politician  of  Woonsocket,  Rhode  Island.  Later  he  settled  in  Woon¬ 
socket,  establishing  a  retail  drug  store,  and  is  now  one  of  the  leading  pharmacists 
of  that  place.  Res.  Woonsocket,  R.  I.

13,  1870,  Sarah  L.  Beidler,  b.  Feb.  19,  1850.  Joseph  Chase  Batchelor  was  born  in 
Abington,  Lackawanna  Co.,  Pa.,  in  1847,  and  received  his  education  at  Madison 
Academy  in  his  native  place,  and  at  Waverly  Academy,  Waverly,  N.  Y.  He  be¬ 
gan  his  business  career  at  the  early  age  of  12  years,  by  clerking  at  intervals  in  the 
village  store  and  postoffice,  often  being  in  full  charge  for  days.  At  the  age  of  six¬ 
teen  he  engaged  with  the  United  States  Sanitary  Commission,  and  for  six  months 
was  in  charge  of  the  work  of  the  Commission  at  Camp  Parole,  near  Annapolis, 
Maryland.  On  his  return  from  the  South,  he  entered  the  employ  of  the  D.  L.  & 
W.  Ry.  Company,  at  Scranton,  Pa.,  and  after  three  vears  of  responsible  service 
with  that  company,  accepted  a  position  with  the  Delaware  &  Hudson  Canal  Com¬ 
pany,  at  the  same  place,  removing  to  Cleveland,  Ohio,  three  years  later,  where  he 
represented  the  company  in  various  capacities  for  eighteen  years.  He  was  then 
summoned  to  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  and  placed  in  charge  of  the  Western  sales  and  ship¬ 
ments  of  the  company,  where  he  is  now  (1897)  stationed.  Under  the  leadership  and 
influence  of  his  father  (Leonard)  he  early  became  interested  and  active  in  the 
church  work  of  the  Presbyterian  denomination,  and  was  ordained  an  elder  before 
reaching  the  age  of  21.  continuing  the  work  early  begun,  down  to  the  present.  An 
earnest  Republican,  but  not  an  office  holder,  he  has  quietly  worked  for  the  success 
of  that  party.  In  1870  he  married  Sallie  Latshaw  Beidler,  daughter  of  a  respected 
Mennonite  minister  of  Chester  Co..  Pa.  Their  three  children,  Mary  Isabella,  Jes¬

age  of  16,  and,  being  the  eldest  child,  the  duties  of  caring  for  his  mother  and  her 
brood  of  young  children  fell  to  him.  After  his  father  died  they  remained  in  Can¬ 
ton  about  two  years,  when  the  home  was  sold  and  they  moved  to  Pierpont,  a  town 
adjoining,  where  he  has  since  resided  and  has  been  a  farmer  since,  till  old  age  com¬ 
pelled  him  to  stop.  He  commenced  in  Pierpont  by  purchasing  forty  acres  of  land, 
and,  as  years  went  by,  adding  to  it,  he  found  himself  sole  owner  of  200  acres  of  as 
fine  farming  land  as  any  in  the  county.  This  farm  he  sold  some  years  ago  to  his 
son  Henry  and  purchased  a  small  farm  of  sixty  acres,  and  even  that  is  too  large  for

1847.  ALDEN  BATCHELDER  (Her¬

John.  Joshua),  b.  Reading,  Mass.,  Sept. 
30,  1836;  m.  there  Sept.  17,  1862,  Louisa 
Carter,  dau.  of  Samuel  W.,  b.  June  12,  1833; 
d.  Aug.  5,  1892.  Alden  Batchelder  was  born 
at  the  ancient  home  of  the  family  on  Frank¬ 
lin  street,  Reading,  now  owned  by  Adelbert 
E.  Batchelder.  The  farm  on  which  he  spent 
his  youth  was  bought  by  the  family  in  the 
earliest  days  of  the  settlement  of  the  town — 
a  portion  of  it  probably  from  the  aborigines.. 
The  bridle-path,  which  in  those  days  was  the 
way  from  the  territory  north  of  the  Ipswich 
River  to  the  settlement  on  the  borders  of  the 
Wakefield  ponds,  passed  by  the  old  home¬ 
stead,  then  situated  on  the  opposite  side  of 
the  street.  Mr.  Batchelder  was  the  son  of 
Herrick  and  Rebecca  (Preston)  Batchelder, 
and  a  descendant  of  John  Batchelder,  one  of 
the  earliest  settlers  of  the  town.  The  name 
Herrick,  borne  by  his  father,  was  the  family 


BATCHELLER  GENEALOGY 


o79 


name  of  his  grandmother,  through  whom  he  descended  from  Henry  Her¬ 
rick,  who  settled  in  Salem  in  1629.  His  mother’s  mother  was  the  daughter 
of  Benjamin  Upton,  Esq.,  a  man  of  note  in  the  North  Precinct,  and  on 
his  mother’s  side,  also,  he  traces  his  descent  from  Peregrine  White  of  the  Plymouth 
Colony,  the  first  child  of  European  parents  born  in  New  England.  He  is  also  a 
descendant  of  Rebecca  Nourse,  a  victim  of  the  Salem  witchcraft  delusion  of  two 
centuries  ago.  His  mother’s  name,  Rebecca,  had  been  borne  by  her  female  ances¬ 
tors  for  several  successive  generations,  probably  in  remembrance  of  their  unfortu¬ 
nate  predecessor.  In  his  childhood  he  attended  school  in  the  old  “North  School- 
house,”  which  stood  at  the  corner  of  Forest  and  Pearl  streets.  When  the  district 
was  divided,  he  became  a  pupil  at  the  school  located  at  the  corner  of  Main  and 
Franklin  streets.  The  influence  of  his  uncle,  the  well-known  educator,  “Master 
John”  Batchelder,  who  dwelt  in  the  same  house,  caused  him  to  early  acquire  a  taste 
for  books  and  a  desire  for  knowledge.  He  has,  in  consequence,  always  shown  a 
great  interest  in  the  various  plans  of  the  young  for  self-improvement.  At  one  time 
he  devoted  a  room  in  his  factory  to  the  use  of  those  who  wished  to  meet  for  the 
practice  of  debating.  In  the  Natural  History  Society,  formed  for  the  purpose, 
among  others,  of  learning  and  preserving  facts  connected  with  the  town,  he  has 
been  a  very  important  factor.  Since  1890,  he  has  been  a  trustee  of  the  Laurel  Hill 
Cemetery,  a  large  portion  of  which  his  home  overlooks,  and  his  watchful  care  and 
taste  have  been  of  great  service  in  improving  that  final  resting-place  of  our  dead. 
His  business  career  has  been  successful.  He  commenced  at  about  20  years  of  age, 
by  learning  the  details  of  practical  manufacturing  as  an  apprentice  of  the  late  Geo. 
O.  Batchelder,  who  was  then  engaged  in  making  furniture  at  the  corner  of  Main 
and  Pearl  Sts.  In  1864  commenced  business  on  his  own  account,  succeeding  the  late 
Solon  A.  Parker  on  Pearl,  near  Salem  St.  The  veterans  in  the  business,  on  account 
of  the  havoc  made  in  this  industry  by  the  great  struggle,  tried  in  vain  to  dissuade  him 
from  his  attempt  to  become  the  master  of  his  own  fortune.  He  succeeded,  how¬ 
ever,  and  remained  where  he  started  till  the  fall  of  1876,  when  his  factory  was  de¬ 
stroyed  by  fire — employing  an  average  force  of  twentv-five  workmen,  and  producing 
about  $50,000  worth  of  finished  goods  annually.  His  special  line  was  parlor  desks 
and  bookcases.  At  first  he  catered  for  the  Southern  trade,  but  later  he  found  a 
market  nearer  home  and  in  the  West.  After  the  Pearl  street  conflagration,  he  re¬ 
moved  his  business  to  Charlestown,  Mass.,  where  he  contracted  for  the  labor  of  a 
large  number  of  convicts  in  the  state  prison,  and  greatly  enlarged  his  operations. 
After  the  convicts  were  transferred  to  the  new  prison  at  Concord,  now  the  reforma¬ 
tory  prison,  he  continued  in  the  prison  shops,  employing  outside  workmen  until 
1884,  when  the  building  was  again  used  as  a  penal  institution.  Then,  as  the  con¬ 
tract  system  of  giving  employment  to  convicts  had  been  abandoned,  he  removed 
to  the  large  factory  on  Rutherford  avenue,  where  he  still  continues.  He  has  been 
successful,  not  only  in  passing  safely  through  all  the  vicissitudes  of  the  financial 
world  since  the  closing  years  of  the  war,  meeting  every  obligation  when  due,  and 
obtaining  a  competence,  but  in  securing  the  confidence  of  his  fellow  citizens  to  a 
very  marked  degree.  He  is  vice  president  of  the  First  National  Bank  of  Reading, 
and  has  held  other  business  positions  requiring  confidence  in  his  sound  judgment 
and  integrity.  Political  preferment  he  has  never  sought,  though  taking  an  interest 
in  public  affairs,  and  keeping  himself  exceptionallv  well  informed  concerning  them. 
Mr.  Batchelder  has  two  sisters;  R.  Jane,  wife  of  George  Beard,  and  Ellen,  a  twin 
sister,  wife  of  John  H.  Cleaves;  also  two  brothers:  Herrick,  deceased,  and  John.

Nathaniel  Osgood,  was  a  shipmaster  of  Salem,  and  his  father, 
Charles  Osgood,  was  an  artist,  having  great  success  as  a  portrait 
painter,  whose  portraits  now  hang  upon  the  walls  of  the  Memo¬ 
rial  Hall  at  Cambridge,  the  historical  societies  of  Boston  and 
Worcester,  and  the  local  societies  of  Salem.  His  mother,  Susan

ary,  1865,  he  entered  the  law  office  of  A.  A.  Ranney,  Boston.  He 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  Dec.  13,  1867,  and  began  practicing  law 
at  No.  35  Court  St.  He  sailed  for  Europe  April  12,  1873,  and, 
having  traveled  extensively,  returned  home  April  22,  1874.  He 
removed,  Feb.  i,  1878,  from  No.  35  to  No.  47  Court  St.,  Boston, 
where  he  is  still  engaged  in  practicing  law,  devoting  himself  prin¬ 
cipally  to  conveyancing.  He  was  elected,  Feb.  6,  1867,  a  member 
of  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  was  for  six 
years  chairman  of  the  Committee  on  the  Library  of  that  Society, 
and  is  one  of  its  directors.  He  was  one  of  the  original  members, 
and  one  of  the  first  Executive  Council,  of  the  Boston  Anti¬ 
quarian  Club,  which  was  organized  in  1879,  and  which  was 
merged  in  the  Bostonian  Society.  Dec.  27,  1881.  He  was  one  of 
the  corporate  members  of  the  latter  society,  which  was  incor¬ 
porated  Dec.  2,  1881,  and  is  one  of  its  directors.  He  was  elected 
a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  Nov.  10, 
1881,  a  corresponding  member  of  the  Weymouth  Historical  So¬ 
ciety,  Jan.  4,  1882,  a  member  of  the  Bunker  Hill  Monument  As¬ 
sociation,  June  18,  1883,  and  of  the  American  Historical  Associ¬ 
ation,  Nov.  12,  1884.  Besides  writing  many  book  notices, 
reviews  and  occasional  articles,  chiefly  for  the  newspapers,  he  is 
a  frequent  contributor  to  the  “New  England  Historical  and 
Genealogical  Register.”  Of  these  “Antiquarian  and  Genealog¬ 
ical  Papers,”  the  following  have  been  reprinted  in  separate  form; 
“The  Hassam  Family,”  1870.  “Some  of  the  Descendants  of

undertaken  by  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society, 
through  Mr.  Henry  Fitz-Gilbert  Waters  (Harv.  1855),  were  first 
set  on  foot  by  Hassam.  Indeed,  the  plan  originated  with  him, 
and  he  is  chairman  of  the  committee  under  whose  direction  the 
■work  has  been  carried  on  and  by  whom  the  funds  necessary  for 
its  prosecution  are  provided.  These  searches  have  resulted  in 
the  accumulation  of  a  vast  amount  of  material  concerning  the 
family  history  of  the  earlv  settlers  of  this  country,  and  particu¬ 
larly  in  the  remarkable  discovery  of  the  parentage  and  ancestry 
of  John  Harvard — a  problem  which  had  baffled  the  skill  of  all 
investigators  for  nearly  half  a  centurv.  He  has  especially  exerted 
himself  to  preserve  and  make  accessible  the  ancient  records, 
files,  papers,  and  documents,  whether  state,  county,  or  munici¬ 
pal.  The  printing  of  the  early  volumes  of  Suffolk  Deeds  is  due 
solely  to  him.  The  elaborate  indices  to  these  printed  volumes 
were  devised  by  him  and  were  made  under  his  personal  super¬ 
vision.  Indeed,  nearly  all  of  the  recent  improvements  in  the 
Suffolk  Registry  of  Deeds  were  first  suggested  and  strongly 
urged  by  him.  He  was  appointed.  April  5.  1884,  by  the  Superior 
Court  for  the  County  of  Suffolk,  one  of  the  commissioners  under 
whose  authority  the  indices  in  that  Registry  of  Deeds  are  made. 
The  re-indexing  of  the  entire  mass  of  the  records  there,  upon

the  present  admirable  plan— a  great  work  now  rapidly  being 
pushed  forward  to  completion — is  the  result  of  his  efforts.  It 
will  save  an  incalculable  amount  of  toil  and  drudgery.  Those 
who  come  after  us  will  hardly  be  able  to  picture  to  themselves 
the  state  in  which  our  public  offices  were  at  the  time  when  the 
present  generation  of  conveyancers  first  entered  upon  the  active 
work  of  life.  After  repeated  attempts  and  many  discouragements 
he  succeeded  in  rescuing  from  threatened  destruction  a  large 
part  of  the  original  Court  files  of  Suffolk  County,  including  the 
files  of  the  Superior  Court  of  Judicature  and  the  Court  of  As¬ 
sistants,  and  in  obtaining  the  large  appropriations  necessary  for 
their  preservation  and  proper  arrangement.  The  work  is  now 
being  carefully  done  under  the  direction  of  the  Clerk  of  the 
Supreme  Judicial  Court,  by  Mr.  William  P.  Upham  (Harv.  1856). 
More  than  200,000  documents,  extending  in  date  from  the  first 
settlement  of  the  country  to  about  the  time  of  the  Revolution, 
.are  now  for  the  first  time  being  made  accessible  to  historical 
investigators.  The  original  plans  for  the  new  court-house  for 
the  County  of  Suffolk  made  no  provision  for  the  Registry  of 
Deeds  and  Probate  Court.  It  was  largely  owing  to  his  active 
exertions  that  the  changes  in  these  plans  were  made,  and  the 
Act  of  1886  passed,  enlarging  the  authority  of  the  Court  House 
Commissioners,  and  authorizing  the  taking  of  additional  land 
for  the  accommodation  of  these  two  departments.  He  pre¬ 
pared.  and  in  spite  of  considerable  opposition  secured  the  pass¬ 
age  of.  Resolve  Chapter  60  of  the  Legislature  of  1884,  providing 
for  an  examination  and  report  as  to  the  condition  of  the  rec¬ 
ords,  files,  papers  and  documents  in  the  State  Department,  pre¬ 
liminary  to  the  adoption  of  a  plan  for  making  their  contents 
more  accessible  for  reference.  Chapter  249  of  the  Acts  of  that 
year,  providing  for  the  publication  of  a  list  of  persons  whose 
names  have  been  changed  in  this  Commonwealth  from  1780  to 
1883,  inclusive,  was  drafted  and  carried  through  the  Legislature 
by  him.  This  list  of  persons,  nearly  10,000  in  number,  is  of  the 
greatest  assistance  to  the  conveyancer  as  well  as  to  other  inves¬ 
tigators.

Philbrick,  who  was  in  some  way  connected  with  his  father’s  family.  Philbrick 
was  superintendent  of  the  Boston  schools  for  many  years.  .Alfred  was  a  fair 


BATCHELLER  GENEALOGY. 


scholar,  good  in  mathematics,  but  not  brilliant.  He  tried  work  in  a  country  store 
at  one  time.  Mr.  Ezra  B.  Tebbetts,  his  wife’s  father,  was  killed  in  Boston  by  an 
icicle  falling  upon  him.  Alfred  soon  married  and  lived  in  his  wife’s  family  after¬ 
wards,  with  the  small  exception  of  a  year  or  so  in  business  in  Chicago.  He  did 
very  well  as  salesman  in  commission  houses  in  Boston,  choosing  the  leather  trade. 
In  the  last  six  years  of  his  life  he  was  interested  in  tanning,  or  preparing  skins  for 
the  trade,  which  brought  some  money  to  his  income  beyond  his  selling  commis¬ 
sions.  He  was  fond  of  mental  games,  whist  and  chess  being  favorites.  He  ranked 
high  as  a  chess  player.  Was  genial  in  manner  and  had  hosts  of  friends.  He  d.

Keene,  April  24,  1879,  Alice  Hills  Hawyard,  b.  Oct.  10,  1855.  In  the  middle  of  the 
last  century,  when  Beverly,  Mass.,  was  a  flourishing  seaport,  engaged  extensively, 
like  Salem,  Portsmouth,  Newburyport,  Plymouth  and  Marblehead,  in  prosperous 
commercial  pursuits,  a  life  on  the  ocean  was  one  to  which  its  young  men  of  ambi¬ 
tion  aspired,  and  to  which  they  looked  for  a  secure  and  contented  livelihood. 
Among  these  young  men  was  the  great-grandfather  of  Alfred  Trask  Batchelder, 
and  in  the  command  of  a  ship  his  career  was  crowned  with  success.  His  son, 
Zachariah  Batchelder,  in  consequence,  probably,  of  the  uncertain  conditions  of 
navigation  in  Revolutionary  times,  entered  on  a  business  rather  than  a  sailor’s 
life,  and  removed  from  Beverly  to  Sunapee,  New  Hampshire.  His  son,  Nathaniel, 
born  in  Beverly,  went  in  his  youth  with  his  father  to  Sunapee  and  there  became  a

successful  farmer,  occupying  a  prominent  position  in  the  town,  and  taking  an 
active  part  in  the  administration  of  its  affairs.  He  married,  in  Sunapee,  Sarah 
Trask  of  Newport,  New  Hampshire,  and  the  subject  of  this  sketch  was  his  son. 
He  was  a  man  of  moderate  means,  but  in  the  education  of  his  children  he  took 
great  interest  and  pride.  Alfred  Trask  Batchelder.  son  of  Nathaniel  and  Sarah 
Trask  Batchelder,  was  born  in  Sunapee,  N.  H.  He  received  his  early  education 
in  the  district  schools  of  his  native  town  and  at  the  Academy  in  New  London,  N. 
H.,  and  fitted  for  college  at  the  Seminary  in  Tilton,  N.  H.  He  graduated  at  Dart¬ 
mouth  College  in  1871,  and  studied  law  in  the  office  of  Judge  W.  H.  H.  Allen  and 
Hon.  Ira  Colby,  in  Claremont,  N.  H.  Both  of  his  instructors  were  eminent  in 
their  profession,  and  under  their  guidance  he  laid  the  foundations  for  the  pursuit 
of  a  profession  in  which  he  has  become  successful  and  distinguished.  He  was 
admitted  to  the  Sullivan  County  bar  in  September.  1873,  and  at  once  began  practice 
in  Claremont,  associated  with  Mr.  Colby,  whose  pupil  he  had  been.  He  remained 
with  Mr.  Colby  until  1877,  supplementing  his  earlier  education  in  the  law  by  the 
preparation  for  trial  of  many  of  the  important  cases  in  which  his  partner  was 
engaged.  In  1877  he  removed  to  Keene,  N.  H.,  and  became  a  partner  with  Francis 
Augustus  Faulkner,  and  his  son,  Francis  C.  Faulkner,  under  the  firm  name  of 
Faulkners  &  Batchelder.  His  connection  with  Mr.  F.  A.  Faulkner  not  only 
attested  the  high  position  which  he  had  already  attained  at  the  bar,  but  furnished 
also  the  best  opportunities  for  his  further  advancement.  Mr.  Faulkner  was  a 
thoroughly  educated  lawyer,  a  graduate  of  Harvard  and  of  its  law  school.  He  had 
been  in  practice  in  Keene  since  1849,  and  three  years  before  his  connection  with 
Mr.  Batchelder  had  declined  an  appointment  to  the  bench  of  the  Supreme  Court 
of  New  Hampshire.  No  man  at  the  bar  was  more  respected  or  enjoyed  more 
fully  the  confidence  of  the  community.  He  died  May  22,  1879,  and  during  the  two 
years  in  which  Mr.  Batchelder  was  associated  with  him  the  business  of  the  firm 
was  established  on  the  firm  basis  which  it  has  since  fully  retained.  Since  the  death 
of  Mr.  Faulkner  the  partnership  of  Mr.  Batchelder  with  his  son,  Francis  Child 
Faulkner,  has  continued  under  the  firm  name  of  Batchelder  &  Faulkner.  Not¬ 
withstanding  the  extensive  practice  which  Mr.  Batchelder  enjoys,  he  finds  time  to 
engage  in  enterprises  and  pursuits  outside  of  his  profession.  His  fellow-citizens 
have  not  failed  to  demand  his  services  in  their  behalf,  and  in  1885  and  1886  he  was 
mayor  of  Keene.  He  is  president  of  the  Cheshire  Provident  Institution  for  Sav¬ 
ings,  president  of  the  Impervious  Packing  Company,  president  of  the  C.  B.  Lan¬ 
caster  Shoe  Company,  president  of  the  Stoddard  Lumber  Company,  director  in 
the  Emerson  Paper  Company  of  Sunapee,  and  a  director  in  the  Ashtielot  and 
Keene  National  Banks.  In  the  line  of  his  profession  he  succeeded  Judge  W.  H. 
H.  Allen  as  Registrv  of  Bankruptcy  under  the  United  States  Bankrupt  Law,  and 
from  1879  till  the  Cheshire  Railroad  Company  consolidated  with  the  Fitchburg 
Railroad  he  was  its  general  counsel.  Mr.  Batchelder  is  associated  with  the  Epis¬ 
copal  Church,  and  in  politics  is  active  in  the  ranks  of  the  Republican  party.  As  a 
churchman  and  politician,  while  not  a  church  member  nor  a  seeker  for  office,  he 
freely  responds  to  all  reasonable  demands  on  his  time  and  purse.  He  is  promi¬ 
nent  in  the  ranks  of  Masonry  and  a  member  of  the  Hugh  De  Paine  Commandery 
of  Knight  Templars.  Mr.  Batchelder  married  Alice  H..  daughter  of  Peter  B.  and 
Mary  H.  Hayward,  of  Keene,  and  has  two  sons,  fourteen  and  fifteen  years  of  age, 
now  attending  school. — (From  “The  New  England  States.”  by  William  T.  Davis,

Esther  Elizabeth  Adams,  b.  Farmington.  Me.,  July  i.  1826.  The  childhood  of  Cory- 
don  was  passed  at  Solon  and  at  Farmington,  Me.,  and  he  received  his  education  at 
Solon  and  in  the  Maine  Wesleyan  College  at  Kents  Hill,  Me.  He  was  a  tanner 
and  currier  by  trade,  as  was  his  father  before  him.  and  learned  his  trade  in  his 
father’s  tannery  at  Salon.  After  learning  the  trade  of  a  tanner  he  worked  for  his 
father  and  for  a  Mr.  Bunker  who  had  a  tannery  at  Anson,  Maine,  and  also  for 
Joshua  Adams  in  his  tannery  at  Wilton,  Me.  He  was  married  at  Wilton  by  Rev. 
E.  Curtiss,  to  Esther  Elizabeth  Adams,  eldest  child  of  loshua  Adams  and  Abagilt 
(Erost)  Mosher.  After  his  marriage  he  removed  to  Solon  and  went  into  partner¬ 
ship  with  his  father,  in  the  tanning  business,  under  the  firm  name  of  John  Bacheller 
&  Son.  This  partnership  continued  for  about  five  years,  when  he  sold  his  interest 
in  the  business  to  his  father,  and  removed  to  Wilton,  where  he  bought  the  tannery 
of  his  father-in-law.  loshua  Adams,  and  engaged  in  business  there.  During  his 
residence  at  Solon  his  son,  Norris  Corydon  Bacheller,  was  born  on  the  26th  day 
of  Sept.  1856.  in  the  Tibbetts  house  next  to  the  Union  church.  He  continued  in 
the  tanning  business  in  Wilton  for  about  ten  years,  or  until  1866.  when  he  sold  his 
tannery  and  business  to  Henry  Bass,  who  had  been  apprenticed  to  him  and  who 
learned  his  trade  of  him.  During  his  residence  at  Wilton  there  was  born  to  him 
Ered  Elmer  Bacheller.  who  died  aged  six  months,  and  who  is  buried  at  Wilton. 
Also  his  daughter.  Emily  Elizabeth  Bacheller,  who  was  born  in  the  house  now 
owned  by  Thos.  Dudley,  Jr.  at  the  corner  of  the  Weld  road  and  the  road  to  East 
Wilton.  She  is  married  to  Eloyd  N.  Smith  and  resides  at  Helena,  Montana.  Dur¬ 
ing  his  residence  at  Wilton  he  became  a  member  of  the  Congregational  church  of 
that  place,  and  also  a  member  of  the  Masonic  Lodge  at  Farmington.  Maine.  In 
December  of  1866  he  sold  his  tannery  and  removed  to  the  West.  After  stopping 
some  months  at  La  Crosse.  Wis..  he  removed  his  family  to  Cape  Girardeau.  Mo., 
and  he  himself  went  to  Fort  Smith.  Arkansas,  where  he  engaged  in  buying  hides 
for  the  Boston  market.  His  dealings  in  hides  being  unprofitable  and  disastrous  to 
him  financially,  and  his  family  being  in  poor  health,  he  removed  back  to  La  Crosse. 
Wis.,  after  having  been  away  thirteen  months.  After  coming  back  to  La  Crosse  he 
was  engaged  in  various  kinds  of  business,  mostly  in  connection  with  the  hide  and 
leather  trade,  and.  in  187.S,  went  to  Mt.  Pleasant,  Iowa,  where  he  was  foreman  in 
the  tannery  of  Stephen  Harvey,  and  where  he  remained  until  1878,  when  Mr.  Har¬ 
vey  having  failed  in  business  he  returned  to  La  Crosse,  where  he  entered  the  em¬ 
ploy  of  the  Davis  Medary  &  Platz  Company,  in  their  tannery.  In  January  of  7880 
he  was  taken  with  -a  severe  attack  of  typhoid  pnuemonia.  from  which  he  never  fully

Norris  Corydon  Batcheller  was  born  in  Solon,  Somerset  Co., 
Maine,  in  the  Tibbetts  house  next  to  the  Union  church.  When 
two  years  old  his  father  removed  to  Wilton,  Maine.  He  attended 
the  public  schools  at  Wilton  and  was  one  year  at  the  East  Cor¬ 
inth  Maine  Academy.  In  1866  his  father  removed  to  the  west, 
and  after  residing  at  La  Crosse,  Wis.,  some  months  he  went  with 
the  rest  of  the  family  to  Cape  Girardeau,  Mo.,  where  he  re¬ 
mained  until  the  family  removed  back  to  La  Crosse,  Wis.,  in 
t868.  During  his  stay  there  he  attended  the  public  schools  of 
Cape  Girardeau.  After  coming  back  to  La  Crosse  he  attended 
the  schools  of  that  city  and  was  a  pupil  in  the  high  school  of  La 
Crosse  when  it  was  first  organized.  His  father  being  in  straight¬ 
ened  circumstances,  financially,  he  carried  papers  for  the  Morn¬ 
ing  Leader  for  several  years,  and  did  what  he  could  to  help  keep 
the  family.  In  the  winter  of  1873-4  lie  taught  school  in  a  log 
school  house  in  the  school  district  west  of  Stevenstown  Post- 
office.  La  Crosse  Co.,  and  in  the  township  of  Farmington.  In 
1875  be  went  to  Mt.  Pleasant,  Iowa,  and  attended  the  Iowa  Wes¬ 
leyan  University  at  that  place,  and  went  as  far  as  the  junior  year 
in  that  college.  While  at  that  college  he  held  various  class  of¬ 
fices  and  was  president  of  the  Hamline  Literary  Society  for  one 
term.  In  1878  he  returned  to  La  Crosse,  Wis.,  and  for  some 
months  studied  law  in  the  office  of  Stogdill  and  Daniels,  but  his 
father’s  health  being  poor,  he  went  to  work  in  the  tannery  of 
Davis  Medary  &  Platz  Company,  as  a  currier,  in  order  to  keep 
the  family  together.  His  father  died  in  1880  and  the  care  and 
support  of  the  family  has  devolved  upon  his  ever  since.  He  re¬ 
mained  with  the  Davis  Medary  &  Platz  Company  until  Dec. 
1882.  During  this  time  he  was  a  member  of  the  La  Crosse  Light 
Guard.  Company  C,  Third  Battalion  W.  N.  G.,  and  was  orderly 
.sergeant  of  the  company  and  holds  an  honorable  discharge  for 
five  years’  service  in  the  State  Militia.  During  that  time  he  was 
also  chairman  of  the  First  Ward  Democratic  Committee  of  La 
Crosse.  In  the  winter  of  1882-83  he  went  to  Billings,  Montana, 
and  entered  the  employ  of  H.  Clark  &  Co.,  the  contractors  who 
were  at  that  time  building  the  Northern  Pacific  railroad.  For 
several  years  he  was  with  this  firm  and  bought  buffalo  hides  and 
furs  from  Indians  and  white  hunters,  on  his  own  account.  The 
firm  that  he  worked  for  went  out  of  business  in  1886,  when  he 
entered  the  employ  of  the  N.  P.  Ry.  Co.,  and  remained  there  un¬ 
til  he  returned  to  La  Crosse  in  1887.  where  his  mother  and  sister 
had  continued  to  reside.  During  his  stay  at  Billings  he  was 
twice  elected  clerk  of  the  school  board  of  that  place,  and  in  1885 
was  nominated  for  member  of  the  legislature  for  Yellowstone 
county,  against  Judge  E.  N.  Harwood,  now  Justice  of  the  Su¬ 
preme  Court  of  Montana,  but  he  was  defeated  by  a  few  votes, 
having  run  far  ahead  of  the  rest  of  the  ticket.  After  his  return 
ro  La  Crosse  he  entered  the  fire  department  of  that  city  as  sece- 
tarv,  and  was  also  captain  of  Truck  Company  No.  i,  and  re¬ 
mained  in  the  department  nearly  four  vears.  In  1891  he  was 
nominated  for  city  clerk  and  was  elected  by  the  largest  majority 
of  any  one  on  the  ticket.  He  wa.s  also  one  of  the  commissioners 
of  the  Sinking  Fund  of  La  Crosse,  and  was  clerk  of  the  Board 
of  Health.  In  1891  he  was  elected  chairman  of  the  Democratic 
County  Committee  of  La  Crosse  Co.,  which  position  he  held 
for  three  years.  On  Nov.  2,  1893.  President  Cleveland  nomi¬

querque,  N.  M.,  Sept.  17,  1892,  Minnie  Moore,  b.  March  3,  1865.  The  subject  of 
this  sketch  was  born  in  Somerset,  Ky.  Attended  .school  there,  and  also  an  acad¬ 
emy;  he  spent  considerable  of  his  time  with  his  grandfather,  the  well  known  land 
lawyer  of  Kentucky,  Hon.  Robert  M.  Bradley  of  Lancester,  Ky  In  1870  he  moved 
with  his  parents  to  Emporia,  Kas.,  attending  the  high  school  at  that  point  and 
spending  four  years  in  the  State  Normal,  which  institution  is  located  at  Emporia. 
After  quitting  school  he  returned  to  Kentucky  and  spent  several  years  studying 
law  with  his  grandfather  and  uncle,  R.  M.  and  W.  O.  Bradley,  the  latter  now  being 
the  governor  of  that  state;  was  admitted  to  practice  law  at  Lancester,  and  his  uncle 
and  grandfather  gave  him  considerable  business  to  attend  to.  Leaving  Kentucky 
once  more  he  returned  to  Emporia  and  practiced  law  with  his  father,  under  the 
firm  name  of  Bacheller  &  Bacheller.  A  year  or  so  later  than  this  the  members  of 
the  bar  at  Emporia  made  a  unanimous  request  in  writing,  upon  Mr.  Bacheller,  to 
become  a  candidate  for  Clerk  of  the  District  Court  of  Lyon  Co.  He  became  a  can¬ 
didate  for  the  office,  but  being  considered  a  “lawyer’s  candidate’’  was  defeated  by  a 
small  number  of  votes.  This  rather  discouraged  the  young  man  and  he  obtained  a 
position  as  cashier  of  the  local  freight  office  of  the  A.  T.  &  S.  F.  at  Albuquerque, 
N.  M.;  this  was  in  i88i;  seven  months  later  he  was  promoted  to  station  agent  at 
Coolidge,  N.  M..  for  the  A.  &  P.  Ry.  Later  he  was  given  considerable  authority 
and  was  acting  superintendent  of  that  division  of  the  road,  also  assistant  material 
agent.  From  that  position  he  was  appointed  terminal  agent,  opening  up  new  sta¬ 
tions  as  the  A.  &  P.  Ry.  was  pushed  further  west  across  the  frontier.  After  the 
road  was  completed  he  took  the  position  as  agent  of  that  line  at  Ash  Fork,  Ariz., 
which  was  the  railroad  point  for  Prescott  and  the  mining  district  and  Whipple 
Barracks,  which  was  then  the  military  headquarters  for  Arizona  and  New  Mexico, 
under  General  Crook.  Mr.  Bacheller  was  also  express  agent  and  later  on  was  ap¬ 
pointed  quarter  master’s  agent  for  the  government,  in  addition  to  his  other  work. 
After  several  years  he  became  dissatisfied  with  living  in  this  kind  of  country  and 
resigned  his  position,  taking  a  position  on  the  A.  T.  &  S.  F.  proper.  Soon  after 
he  was  offered  the  position  as  traveling  auditor  on  the  A.  &  P.  road,  and  returned 
to  that  line:  then  the  A.  T.  &  S.  F.  offered  him  a  position  as  commercial  agent  at 
Pueblo,  which  he  held  for  about  twelve  months,  when  the  A.  &  P.  railroad  offered 
him  the  position  of  assistant  general  freight  agent  at  Albuquerque,  which  he  ac¬ 
cepted  and  held  for  nearly  two  years,  but  finally  resigned,  as  he  did  not  want  to 
live  in  that  section  of  the  country  any  longer,  and  being  offered  a  position  as  com 
mercial  agent  of  the  Santa  Fe  at  Detroit,  Mich.,  he  accepted  same  and  from  there 
was  appointed  commercial  agent  of  the  A.  T.  &  S,  F.  at  St.  Joseph,  where  he  now 
resides,  having  jurisdiction  over  northwest  Missouri  and  the 'northern  part  of  Kan¬
